Aromatic compounds exhibit greater stability than non-aromatic cyclic compounds due to the delocalization of π-electrons, as explained by Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT). This delocalization allows for a lower energy state, contributing to the stability of compounds like benzene. In contrast, anti-aromatic compounds, which do not follow Hückel's rule, are highly unstable due to the presence of a full set of π-electrons in a cyclic structure, leading to increased electron-electron repulsion and higher energy states.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, organic chemists, and researchers interested in the stability and reactivity of aromatic and anti-aromatic compounds.
