Chapter 8.12, Problem 23P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The aromatic compounds have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Criteria for Aromaticity:

1. 1. A molecule must be cyclic.
2. 2. Every atom in the ring must have a p-orbital.
3. 3. The molecule must be planar.
4. 4. $\text{π-}$ Cloud must contain an odd number of pairs of $\text{π-electrons}\text{.}$

Dipole moment: The unequal sharing of electrons between two different electronegative atoms gives rise to opposite charges.
