Question

Why naphthalene is less aromatic than benzene?

Answer 1

So naphthalene is more reactive compared to single ringed benzene . Naphthalene has two aromatic rings, but only 10 pi electrons (rather than the twelve electrons that it would prefer). This means that naphthalene has less aromatic stability than two isolated benzene rings would have.
