Chapter 8: Q49P (page 364)

a.What is the value of nin H眉ckel鈥檚 rule when a compound has nine pairs of 蟺 electrons?

b. Is such a compound aromatic?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The value of n will be 4.

(b) The compound is aromatic.

Step by step solution

01

Measurement of aromaticity

Aromaticity of a compound can be measured through theH眉ckel鈥檚 rule, which is stated thatfor a planar, cyclic compound to be aromatic, its uninterrupted 蟺 cloud must contain (4n+ 2) 蟺 electrons, where nis any whole number. According to H眉ckel鈥檚 rule, then, an aromatic compound must have 2 (n= 0), 6 (n= 1), 10 (n= 2), 14 (n= 3), 18 (n= 4), and so on, 蟺 electrons.

02

explanation

(a) If a compound has 9 pairs of 蟺 electrons, according to H眉ckel鈥檚 rule of (4n+2) 蟺 electrons, the value of n will be

(4n+ 2) 蟺 = 18蟺 (9 pairs of electrons means 18 electrons).

n= 4

(b) Putting the value of n=4, it satisfies the H眉ckel鈥檚 rule of aromaticity. So, the compound is aromatic.
