Answer 2

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Benzene C₆H₆ is famous compound for its aromaticity. It have 3 π bonds which moves around the whole conjugated system of benzene thus making it a electron rich and also aromatic.

Calculate number of electrons in conjugated system, if it is

4n + 2 (n = 0to6) then compound will be aromatic
