# Aromaticity and Lone Pair Participation## Objective:Determine which (if any) lone pairs are participating in the aromaticity for each of the following compounds.### Compounds:1. **Compound 1**: A six-membered ring with a nitrogen atom replacing one of the carbon atoms in the benzene ring. 2. **Compound 2**: A six-membered ring with a nitrogen atom and an adjacent aromatic ring, illustrating lone pairs on the nitrogen.3. **Compound 3**: An eight-membered ring with a nitrogen atom and lone pairs indicated outside the ring.4. **Compound 4**: A five-membered ring with a nitrogen atom containing lone pairs.### Questions:Evaluate the participation of lone pairs in aromaticity for each compound:- **Option 1**: Lone pairs are not participating.- **Option 2**: Lone pair of nitrogen is participating.- **Option 3**: Lone pair of oxygen is participating.- **Option 4**: One lone pair of sulfur is participating.### Notes:- Each compound should be considered independently to ascertain which lone pairs, if any, contribute to aromatic stability.- Factors influencing aromaticity include the potential for lone pairs to delocalize and maintain a continuous ring of p-orbitals.Understanding the role of lone pairs in these types of compounds provides insight into the broader principles affecting aromaticity and stability.

If lone pair is in conjugation with vacant p-orbital or double bond then they become delocalised.

For each of the following compounds determine which (if any) lone pairs are participating in aromaticity: 3 -H O 1) are not participating; 2) lone-pair of nitrogen is participating; 3) is participating, 4) One lone-pair of sulfur is participating O 1) are not participating; 2) lone-pair of nitrogen is participating; 3) is participating, 4) lone-pair of nitrogen is participating O 1) are participating; 2) one lone-pair of oxygen is participating; 3) is not participating, 4) One lone-pair of sulfur is participating O 1) are not participating; 2) one lone-pair of oxygen is participating; 3) is not participating, 4) One lone-pair of sulfur is participating

Which one of the following statements from Chapter 8 and 18 is FALSE? O For a compound to be classified as aromatic, it must have an odd number of pairs of n-electrons and must be fully conjugated, cyclic and planar. O Inclusion of heteroatoms as part of the conjugated ring system renders the molecule to be considered non-aromatic. O Benzene is a six-membered ring where the n-electrons are equally shared across all six carbons in the ring and thus it possesses 36 kcal/mol of resonance stabilization energy. O The key reaction in Chapter 18 is the EAS reaction, which stands for electrophilic aromatic substitution. O All EAS reactions follow the same three mechanistic steps: (1) generate the electrophile, (2) capture the electrophile to give a carbocation intermediate, and (3) loss of a proton to regain aromaticity.
