No - although it has sufficient electrons to obey the Huckel rule (4n+2) pi electrons. The two olefins in the ring are cross-conjugated through the carbonyl groups. The lack of proper conjugation precludes aromaticity. The non aromaticity is evidenced by different bond-lengths around the ring

What is a benzoquinone?
It is the product of catechol and oxygen when catalyzed by the enzyme catechol oxidase. This reaction occurs naturally in plants to prevent bacteria from decaying damaged plant cells, since benzoquinone is toxic to bacteria. It`s the brown stuff that we call bruises on fruits.
Is napthalene aromatic?
Yes. naphthalene is aromatic
Is dioxane aromatic?
it not aromatic because there is no conjucted carbon
Is glucose aliphatic or aromatic?
Aliphatic
What is the general formula of an aromatic?

Will p-benzoquinone show tautomerism?
yes:
Why is benzoquinone important in fruit and vegetables?
From what i know it is what happens to fruits and vegetables after been exposed to oxygen (damaged in some way). It is a defensive mechanism used by fruit and vegetables to protect itself from infection as benzoquinone is toxic to bacteria.
Is cyclohexanone an aromatic compound?
No, cyclohexanol is not an aromatic compound since it does not exhibit aromatic resonance stabilization (like benzene). Refer to Hückel's rule for clarification of the definition of an aromatic compound.
Is Levulinic acid is aromatic or aliphatic?
aromatic
Is napthalene aromatic?
Yes. naphthalene is aromatic
Is glucose aromatic?
Glucose is not an aromatic. It has no smell whatsoever.
Is dioxane aromatic?
it not aromatic because there is no conjucted carbon
Is glucose aliphatic or aromatic?
Aliphatic
Is hexane an aromatic?
No, n-hexane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon - not aromatic.
Is aceton aliphatic or aromatic?
(acetone is aromatic) Acetone is not even a little aromatic because acetone does not fit's in Huekel's rule.
Is methanol an aromatic hydrocarbon?
Yes. It is a polycyclic aromatic. A white solid, it consists of two benzene rings "fused" together, sharing two carbon atoms. It has a formula of C10H8. It has a distinctive smell, and is traditionally used as "mothballs".
