Chapter 21.2, Problem 21.3P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ground state electron configuration of cyclopentadienyl cation and the ground state electron configuration of cyclopentadienyl radical have to described, aromatic or antiaromatic has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Aromaticity:

The organic molecule must planar, have one 2p orbitals on each atom of the ring, cyclic and conjugate and satisfy the 4n+2 electrons is called aromatic compound. Aromatic molecules are very stable, and do not break apart easily to react with other substances.
