Aromatic compound?

Question

How can i easily identify which one is aromatic compound?

Answer 1

Aromatic compunds have ring structures, and benzene is a classic example. Although many have distinct aromas, not all of them do.

I'm not really sure how much depth you want.

Aromatic compounds are particularly stable because of their electronic structure. The atoms in the molecule share electrons in the pi-system. If the electrons in the system are equal to 4n+2, it is aromatic according to Huckels rule. Just be sure that when you are counting electrons, the electrons are indeed in the pi-system. Also remember, not all rings are aromatic. There is also anti-aromatic (electrons = 4n) and non-aromatic.

Answer 2

All aromatic compounds have a six-carbon hexagonal ring with every other bond being a double covalent bond this is so easy to identify in a structural diagram that a three year old could probably do it but it gets much more difficult when you're dealing with formulas that don't show the structure, however you basically just have to look for the group C6 covalently bonded to six or fewer other atoms or groups with only single covalent bonds.

Answer 3

huckel's rule is the most easy n best way of confirming the aromaticity of a organic compound.
If the no. of pi-bonds fits into the formula -( 4n+2) then the compound is aromatic. eg- benzene has 6 pi-electrons so {4(1) +2}...thus it is a aromatic compound. n remeber it shud b only a postive no.

Answer 4

Having a benzene ring and these have particular smell As according to their name: Aroma: means smell
