Talk:aromatic

Formerly had the definition of aromatic to mean and ring of alternating single and double carbon bonds as an aromatic ring; this is not technically true, as the ring must exhibit denationalization of the electrons, be flat, or exhibit other characteristics depending on the theory. Put huckel's rule in. I thought it would be better to be more specific, as things like cyclobutadiene do not exhibit aromatic character, but still would have fit in the former definition. If somebody else has a suggestion to expand the definition in an accurate but less formal way, please do. 129.186.252.11 19:39, 10 July 2012 (UTC)aepd
