Cyclopentadienyl anion is

Question

Cyclopentadienyl anion is (A) benzenoid and aromatic (B) non-benzenoid and aromatic (C) non-benzenoid and non-aromatic (D) non-benzenoid and anti-aromatic

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cyclopentadienyl anion. It is cyclic, planar with (4 n+2) π e-. Therefore aromatic but structure is not similar to benzene. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/cd295ef1ec291f22a188a57e96fd209a-.png" />

Q. Cyclopentadienyl anion is

benzenoid and aromatic

non-benzenoid and aromatic

non-benzenoid and non-aromatic

non-benzenoid and anti-aromatic

Cyclopentadienyl anion. It is cyclic,
planar with $(4 n + 2) π e^{-}$ . Therefore
aromatic but structure is not similar to benzene.
