Benzene, (4 n+2) n electrons n =1 (π electrons) Naphthalene, (4 n+2) π ; n=2,10 π electrons Both obey Huckel's rule.

Q. $C_{6} H_{6}$ consists of one ring, while naphthlene consists of two rings. Both of them are aromatic and obey the $(4 n +$ 2) rule. Thus the number of n-electrons inside rings of $C_{6} H_{6}$ and naphthalene are respectively

Benzene, $(4 n + 2) n$ electrons
$n = 1$ ( $π$ electrons)
Naphthalene, $(4 n + 2) π; n = 2, 10 π$ electrons
Both obey Huckel's rule.

Q. C6​H6​ consists of one ring, while naphthlene consists of two rings. Both of them are aromatic and obey the (4n+ 2) rule. Thus the number of n-electrons inside rings of C6​H6​ and naphthalene are respectively
