Question
These statements about aromatic compounds are correct EXCEPT*1 pointThey are cyclic and planarThey follow Huckel’s 4n ruleAll C-C and C=C bonds in the benzene ring have the same lengthThe benzene ring reacts by electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction
Solution
The statement that is incorrect is "They follow Huckel’s 4n rule". Aromatic compounds actually follow Huckel's 4n+2 rule, not 4n. This rule states that a compound is aromatic if it has a planar, cyclic, conjugated system with 4n+2 π electrons. This is known as Huckel's rule.
