A. Aromatic
B. Alicyclic
C. Aliphatic
D. None of These
- Cyclopentene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with five carbons in the ring, but it is not aromatic because it does not follow the Hückel’s rule, which requires the cyclic system to have a planar, fully conjugated ring with 4n+2 π electrons. Therefore, it is classified as an alicyclic compound.
- Aliphatic compounds are non-aromatic and contain only straight or branched carbon chains.
Aromatic compounds contain one or more aromatic rings, which are characterized by their stability due to the delocalization of electrons in the ring system
