Aromaticity is due to the 

  • Planarity
  • Complete delocalization of the pi electrons in the ring
  • Presence of (4n+2 )πelectrons in the ring

(1) Napthalene 

Question Image

n=2 

Huckel'rule :(4n+2 )πelectrons

=4(2) +2 πelectrons = 10πelectrons

(2) Benzene :

n=1

Huckel'rule :(4n+2 )πelectrons

=4(1) +2 πelectrons = 6πelectrons
