Is the molecule below aromatic/non-aromatic/anti-aromatic? How many p orbitals and pi electrons are involved?
Antiaromatic; there are 9 overlapping p orbitals and 8 pi electrons.
Non-aromatic; there are 8 overlapping p orbitals but none on the nitrogen atom.
Aromatic; there are 9 overlapping p orbitals and 10 pi electrons.

Expert Solution
Step 1 Aromaticity

Aromatic compound:  Those molecules that follow the huckle rule.

condition: 1) cyclic molecule 

2) conjugated system(sp2 hybridized).

3) follow (4n+2)pi electrons.

Antiaromtic compound: Those molecules that don't follow the huckle rule.

condition: 1) cyclic molecule 

2) conjugated system(sp2 hybridized).

3) follow (4n)pi electrons.
