Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and, the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: [6] Annulene, [8] Annulene and cis-[10] Annulene, are respectively aromatic, not-aromatic and aromatic.
Reason R: Planarity is one, of the requirements of aromatic systems.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Assertion A: [6] Annulene, [8] Annulene and cis-[10] Annulene, are respectively aromatic, not-aromatic and aromatic.
Reason R: Planarity is one, of the requirements of aromatic systems.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- A is correct but R is not correct.
- A is not correct but R is correct.
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
[6] Annulene is aromatic because it is planar.
[8] Annulene and [10] Annulene are both not aromatic because they are not planar. So, Assertion (A) is not correct.
Reason (R) is correct because planarity is one of the requirements of aromatic system.
The correct answer is (D): A is not correct but R is correct.

Concepts Used:
Aromatic hydrocarbon
Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

Reactions of Aromatic Hydrocarbons:
1. Aromatic Substitution Reactions
This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.
The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:
- Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Radical nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
2. Coupling Reactions
In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
