(a)
Interpretation:
The aromatic cyclopolyenes with a single positive charge are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The movement of delocalized pi electrons leads to the corresponding resonance structures. The stability of a compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. The compounds which follow the
(b)
Interpretation:
The aromatic cyclopolyenes with double positive charge are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The movement of delocalized pi electrons leads to the corresponding resonance structures. The stability of a compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. The compounds which follow the Huckel rule of aromaticity are known as aromatic compound.
