Ans : null ()
For the given compound, the number of ``\pi``-electrons is six. But only four ``\pi``-electrons are present within the ring. Also there is no conjugation of``\pi``-electrons within the ring and the compound is not planar in shape. Hence, the given compound is not aromatic in nature.
()
For the given compound, the number of ``\pi``-electrons is four.
By Huckel’s rule,
4n + 2 = 4
4n = 2

For a compound to be aromatic, the value of n must be an integer (n = 0, 1, 2...), which is not true for the given compound. Hence, it is not aromatic in nature.
()
For the given compound, the number of ``\pi``-electrons is eight.
By Huckel’s rule,
4n + 2 = 8
4n = 6
