The cyclopropenyl cation () is highly stable for a small strained ring. What is its exact integer va — Hydrocarbons Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The planar cyclopropenyl cation contains 1 double bond ($2\pi$ electrons) and an empty p-orbital. Setting $4n + 2 = 2 \implies 4n = 0 \implies n = 0$. It is a perfectly valid aromatic system.
