Which of the following will exhibit aromatic character?
Options
- AI, III
- BIII, IV
- CII, IV
- DII, III
Correct answer
C. II, IV
Step-by-step solution
Since in azulene (IV) two rings share a double bond, therefore, two electrons of this double bond can be counted towards each. As a result, each ring has 6 π -electrons and hence azulene is aromatic. Pyrrole (II), the two double bonds + one lone pair of electrons on the N atom).
