Are aromatic compounds always more stable than non aromatic ones ?
Recently, came across a question and it's solution used heat of formation to describe how cyclohexane is more stable than benzene.
I would like to know if there are more such cases and if so then how do we compare in such questions ?

Which is more stable and why?\n \n \n \n \n . Ans: Hint: Cyclohexane is a saturated compound while benzene is an unsaturated compound. Cyclohexane exists mostly in chair form and benzene is an aromatic compound.Complete answer:Cyclohexan...
see stability has to do with energy so we can 'predict' only up to a point, uske baad gotta look at data
so should i not take any stability order as a hard and fast rule?
also i got to a conclusion that the hydrogenated byproduct is more stable than the aromatic compound and b/w two diff structures one can just compare
not sure if i'm right tho
Works for most generic things for jee
But beyond a point one should just look at data
mhm
thanks
