The assertion is correct but the reasoning is wrong.
Explanation:
- Tropylium cation is a cation with the formula of C7H7+.
- It is a aromatic cation, which is because of many reasons,
- The cation is planar.
- The cation is cyclic.
- There are 6 pi electrons which maintains Haeckel's number of 4n+2.
- So its an aromatic compound because of several reasons.
- So, only planar structure doesn't decide its aromaticity.
