Q. Which of the following will exhibit aromatic character?Chemistry Question Image

Hydrocarbons

Solution:

Since in azulene (IV) two rings share a double bond, therefore, two electrons of this double bond can be counted towards each. As a result, each ring has $6\,\pi$-electrons and hence azulene is aromatic. Pyrrole (II), is aromatic because it contains $6\pi$-electrons (four from the two double bonds + one lone pair of electrons on the $N$ atom).
