How many of the given compounds are aromatic?
Shouldn't d be aromatic because bond breaking and stuff?

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.(d) is 12 electrons in conjugation innit
so should be antiaromatic
Oh we also have to check that?
i think there's 12 pi electrons so it's antiaromatic (4n)
there are criteria for aromaticity
1. should be planar
2. should be fully conjugated
3. should be cyclic
4. should follow Huckel's rule, (4n+2)pi electrons
Can't we make like 2 rings with 6 pi electrons each?
if the resonance of one ring bleeds into the other then i don't think you can consider them to be 2 separate systems
eg. the minus charge could be in either ring thanks to the resonating double bond at the top
Ah I see.
This is aromatic tho?
Every cyclic atom must be sp² hence d isn't aromatic
This is azulene i think
10 pi electrons in conjugation
that fulfills the 4n+2 rule
Oh right.
