The concept used to solve this problem is based on Huckel’s rule.
Aromatic compounds are made up of cyclic, planar molecules with a ring of resonance bonds. These molecules exhibit more stability than other arrangements with the same set of atoms. In organic chemistry, Huckel’s rule is used in estimating the aromaticity of a planar ring molecule.
The Huckel’s rule is followed when the cyclic molecule has
electrons. The number of
electrons in the molecule
are calculated as:

Here,
can be zero or any positive integer.
The number of
electrons in the molecule
are:

Rearrange the equation for
.
…… (1)
Substitute 4 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 5 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 8 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 9 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 12 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 15 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 16 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
Substitute 20 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
So, when the number of
electrons are 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 20, then the Huckel’s rule is not satisfied because n can never be in fraction.
Substitute 2 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is
.
So, when the number of
electrons is 2, then the Huckel’s rule is satisfied.
Substitute 6 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is 1.
So, when the number of
electrons is 6, then the Huckel’s rule is satisfied.
Substitute 10 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is 2.
So, when the number of
electrons is 10, then the Huckel’s rule is satisfied.
Substitute 14 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is 3.
So, when the number of
electrons is 14, then the Huckel’s rule is satisfied.
Substitute 18 for
in equation (1).

The value of
for
electrons is 4.
So, when the number of
electrons is 18, then the Huckel’s rule is satisfied.
The number of
electron that satisfy Hückel’s rule is 2.

Huckel's rule is used to recognize aromatic compounds. From the list below, select the values that satisfy Huckel's rule.
5. Circle the compounds below that are aromatic.
5. Circle the compounds below that are aromatic. Aromatic compounds obey Huckel's rule: they have 4n+2 Tt-electrons (where n = any integer including zero) in a closed, contiguous Tt-system (see pg 760, 764-766). Remember delocalized lone pairs are part of the T-system whereas localized lone pairs are not (see pg 765-768). Empty p-orbitals can also be part of the it-system.
