Characteristics of Aromatic Compounds

Very Hard Organic Chemistry Aromatic Compounds

Consider the resonance structures of benzene and its derivatives in organic chemistry. Which of the following statements accurately describes an important characteristic of aromatic compounds?

Aromatic compounds have specific stability due to resonance; which of the following compounds exemplifies this principle while also undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution?

Cyclohexene, which is non-aromatic due to lack of a cyclic pi system.

Benzaldehyde, which can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution due to the presence of a carbonyl group.

Toluene, which consists of a methyl group that activates the aromatic ring toward electron-rich substituents.

Naphthalene, which has a greater stability due to greater pi resonance compared to benzene.
