- What is the major difference between an antiaromatic and aromatic compound? Antiaromatic compounds have at least one sp³ hybridized atom in the ring. Antiaromatic compounds are not conjugated. Only aromatic compounds have 4n+ 2 pi electrons. The structure must be cyclic for aromatic but not antiaromatic compounds. Aromatic, not Antiaromatic compounds, are planar.arrow_forwardFollowing the instructions for drawing the energy levels of the molecular orbitals for the compounds shown in Figure 8.17, draw the energy levels of the molecular orbitals for the cycloheptatrienyl cation, the cycloheptatrienylanion, and the cyclopropenyl cation.
