MCQ
Identify the polynuclear aromatic compound which is aromatic
  • A
    $(i)$ and $(ii)$
  • B
    $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
  • $(i)$, $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
  • D
    $(i)$ and $(iii)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(i)$, $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
c
For any compound to be aromatic, all carbon atoms must be $sp ^2$ hybridised and must follow Huckle rule.

Huckel's Rule $\Rightarrow 4 n +2=$ no. of delocalised $\pi$-electrons $( n =0,1,2,3 \ldots)$

$(i) \,4 n +2=10 \Rightarrow n =2$

$(ii) \,4 n +2=14 \Rightarrow n =3$

$(iii)\,4 n +2=14 \Rightarrow n =3$

All compounds follow Huckel's rule, thus all are aromatic compounds.

Hence, the correct answer is option $C$.
