1. Define Aromatic compound. 2. Define Aliphatic compound. 3. Distinguish between aromatic compound and aliphatic compound. 4. Define Huckel's Rule.
Understand the Problem
The question is a homework assignment asking to define specific terms related to chemistry, namely 'Aromatic compounds', 'Aliphatic compounds', and to distinguish between the two types. It also asks for a definition of Huckel's Rule.
Answer
Aromatic: conjugated rings, delocalized electrons. Aliphatic: non-aromatic chains. Huckel's Rule: aromatic if 4n+2 π electrons.
- Aromatic compounds contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalized pi-electron clouds, following Huckel's Rule. 2. Aliphatic compounds consist of linear or branched chains and non-aromatic rings. 3. Aromatic compounds have a ring structure with delocalized electrons, while aliphatic compounds have open chains or non-aromatic rings. 4. Huckel's Rule states a molecule is aromatic if it has 4n+2 π electrons in a cyclic, planar system.

More Information
Aromatic compounds are stable due to resonance. Aliphatic compounds include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Huckel's Rule helps identify aromatic stability.
Tips
Confusion often occurs in identifying the conjugated system in aromatic compounds. Ensure proper counting of π electrons for Huckel's Rule.
