Aromatic Anti Aromatic Non Aromatic

This document contains sample questions for a tutorial on generalized orbital theory (GOC) and aromaticity. Part A contains 4 subjective questions asking to classify compounds as aromatic, antiaromatic or nonaromatic and explain why cyclooctatetraene is nonplanar and why some cycloheptatrienes form ions while cyclopentadienes do not. Part B contains 5 objective multiple choice questions about the conditions for aromaticity, number of pi electrons in conjugated systems, hybridization of nitrogen in pyrrole, why aromatics burn with sooty flames, and unstable molecules.
