Total number of aromatic compounds among the following compounds is ____.
Answer: 1
Solution
Testing the listed structures against Hückel's criterion (planar, fully conjugated ring, 4n+2π electrons): among the set, only pyridine satisfies aromaticity (6 π electrons in a planar, fully conjugated ring, nitrogen lone pair in an sp2 orbital in the ring plane, not part of the π system). Total aromatic compounds =1.
