No it does not obey the 4N+2 electrons... it has 4 pi electrons... it is anti aromatic however the ion is aromatic which explains its relatively low pka value of 15-16 which is on par with alcohols which are generally 16-18pka

An aromatic compound contains at least one benzene ring, which is a 6-carbon ring in which all the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized. The carbon atoms in cyclohexane are sp3 hybridized.

∙ 11y agoAromaticity have to follow Huckel Law where the number of rings should equal to n in which 4n+2=num of pie bonds. in cyclooctatetraene. there are 4 double bonds thus 8 pi bonds thus n value comes to 6/4 which shows that it is non-aromatic. n should be an integer (num of rings).

∙ 14y agoNo. To have an aromatic molecule it must have a conjugated system with Huckel's number of pi electrons which can be found using this equation: 4n+2 where n can be any integer.

∙ 12y agoCuclopropeneyl cation is aromatic. It complies to all criterias of aromaticity:
it is
- planar
-cyclic
-4n+2 pi electrons (Huckel's Rule)
-etc...

What is an anion and what is the function of the liquid inside an anion?
An anion is a negative ion, i.e. one which is attracted to the anode during electrolysis. It's a particle, so it can't contain a liquid.
How does a polarised anion differ from an unpolarised anion?
Well the difference will be in the type of bond formed as a result. The bond would be Ionic in case of polarized anion and Covalent in case or unpolarised anion.The related link below also talks about the size of the anion and charge density in determining the bond type.
An ion that has a negative charge?
Chloride would be a negative ion in sodium chloride dissolved in water.
What are the example of divalent anion?
Sulfide Dicarbonate
Chemoreceptors that detect odors are called what?
olfactory receptors
Write reasons cyclopentadiene is a usually acidic hydrocarbon?
Cyclopentadiene is a non aromatic compound but cyclopentadiene anion is aromatic in nature due to, 1- six pi electrons and 2- process of resonance so to stabilized itself as the aromatic anion the cyclopentadiene removes on hydrogen ion and behaves like an acid.
What is the most dangerous chemical in the world and what does it do?
Cyclopentadienyl Nickel Nitrosyl
What has the author Mahmoud M Al-Ktaifani written?
Mahmoud M. Al-Ktaifani has written: 'Novel chemistry of the aromatic P3C2tBu2 anion and its derivatives'
Why propene cation is more stable than propane cation?
Aromatic compounds are resonance stabilized. Hence if a compound is aromatic it is more stable. The main thing to note here is that AROMATICITY GIVES STABILITY TO A COMPOUND. Therefore cyclopropene is an aromatic compound and hence is more stable than propene.
Why ferrocene is organomatallic compound?
Ferrocene is an organometallic compound because it has two rings of cyclopentadienyl on opposite sides of a metal atom.
Is PO4 a cation or an anion?
polyatomic anion
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
