Question
Which one of the following statements from Chapter 8 and 18 is FALSE?
O For a compound to be classified as aromatic, it must have an odd number of pairs
of n-electrons and must be fully conjugated, cyclic and planar.
O Inclusion of heteroatoms as part of the conjugated ring system renders the
molecule to be considered non-aromatic.
O Benzene is a six-membered ring where the n-electrons are equally shared across
all six carbons in the ring and thus it possesses 36 kcal/mol of resonance
stabilization energy.
O The key reaction in Chapter 18 is the EAS reaction, which stands for electrophilic
aromatic substitution.
O All EAS reactions follow the same three mechanistic steps: (1) generate the
electrophile, (2) capture the electrophile to give a carbocation intermediate, and
(3) loss of a proton to regain aromaticity.
