please help solve the second one

**Instructions:**

**A.** Determine the number of electrons in a system of cyclic conjugation (zero if no cyclic conjugation).

**B.** Specify whether the species is "a"-aromatic, "aa"-anti-aromatic, or "na"-non-aromatic (neither aromatic nor anti-aromatic).

(Presume rings to be planar unless the structure obviously prevents planarity. If there is more than one conjugated ring, count electrons in the largest.)

---

**1.**

- **Structure:** A heterocyclic compound with two nitrogen atoms and a methyl group attached.

- **A. Electrons in a cyclic conjugated system:** 6

- **B. The compound is (a, aa, or na):** a

---

**2.**

- **Structure:** A phenyl group attached to an oxygen with a lone pair, forming a ketone-like structure.

- **A. Electrons in a cyclic conjugated system:** [Blank space]

- **B. The compound is (a, aa, or na):** [Blank space]

**Explanation for Graphs/Diagrams:**

1. **Diagram 1:** Displays a six-membered aromatic ring (likely a pyridine derivative) with nitrogen atoms and a methyl group indicating conjugated pi-electron systems.
   
2. **Diagram 2:** Displays a benzene ring with a ketone group at one of the carbons along the ring, showing potential delocalization of pi electrons involving the oxygen.
