Aromatic compounds

  • Are Cyclic Structure
  • Planar [ all atoms of cyclic ring in SP2 or SP Hybridization ]
  • Satisfy Huckle`s rule [ 4n + 2  = pi ]
  • Resonance stabilized
  • Negative Bromine test [ Test for Unsaturation ]
  • Dry Heating test burn with sooty flame
e.g.- Benzene, Phenol, Aniline, Naphthalene etc













Non Aromatic compounds

  • May or may not Cyclic Structure
  • May or may not Planar 
  • Not Satisfy Huckle`s rule [ 4n + 2  = pi ]
  • May or may not Resonance stabilized
  • May or may not Positive Bromine test [ Test for Unsaturation ]
  • Dry Heating test burn with non sooty flame
e.g.- Cyclopentane, Cyclobutene, Hexane etc
