Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Correct answer

5

Step-by-step solution

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclooctatetraene; non-aromatic, due to non-planarity of ring the π\pi-electrons are not delocalised.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclopropenyl anion; Anti-aromatic, 4π4\pi-electrons are  delocalised

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclopropenyl cation; Aromatic, 2π2\pi-electrons are  delocalised.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclohexadiene : Non-aromatic, as π\pi electrons are not fully conjugated.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Tropylium ion : Aromatic, as it contains conjugated system of (4n+2)π( 4n + 2 ) \pi electrons (6π6\pielectrons).  It is cyclic and planar.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclopentadienyl cation; Anti-aromatic, 4π4\pi-electrons  are delocalised.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Cyclopentadienyl anion; Aromatic, as it contains conjugated system of (4n+2)π( 4n + 2 ) \pi electrons (6π6\pi electrons).  It is cyclic and planar.

Among the following, the number of aromatic compound (s) is/are

Both are aromatic as first it contains conjugated system of (4n+2)π( 4n + 2 ) \pi electrons (6π6\pi electrons).  It is cyclic and planar. These are pi electrons present in one ring. Pi electrons present in other ring are not counted.

Second one contains conjugated system of (4n+2)π( 4n + 2 ) \pi electrons (14π14\pi electrons).  It is cyclic and planar.
