Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a new compound with a 6-membered ring and 6 π electrons. Apply Hückel's Rule and conclude if it is aromatic. Discuss its potential stability compared to benzene.
💡 Hint: What happens if the structure changes?
Describe how altering the structure of a cyclic compound with 4 π electrons affects its aromaticity and suggest a non-aromatic modification.
💡 Hint: Consider the criteria for aromaticity.
