The aromatic compounds apparently contain alternate double and single bonds in a cyclic structure, and resemble benzene in chemical behaviour. They undergo substitution reactions rather addition reactions. This characteristic behaviour is called Aromatic character or Aromaticity.
Conditions for Aromaticity:
(i) An aromatic compound is cyclic and planar.
(ii) Each atom in an aromatic ring has a p-orbital. These p-orbitals must be parallel so that a continuous overlap is possible around a ring.
(iii) The cyclic \(\pi\)-molecular orbital formed by the overlap of p-orbitals must contain (4n + 2) \(\pi\) electrons, where (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.)

Step I Write the balanced equation
\({ NH }_{ 2 }CN(s)+\frac { 3 }{ 2 } { O }_{ 2 }(g)\rightarrow { N }_{ 2 }(g)+{ CO }_{ 2 }(g)+{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\)
Step II Calculate \({ \Delta n }_{ g }\)
Difference of moles of gaseous products and
reactants, \({ \Delta n }_{ g }={ n }_{ p }-{ n }_{ r }=2-\frac { 3 }{ 2 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =0.5mol\)
Step III Calculate \(\Delta H\) by using the formula
\(\Delta H=\Delta U+{ \Delta n }_{ g }RT\)
\(\Delta H=-742.7 \ kj \ { mol }^{ -1 }\)
\( +(0.5mol\times 8.314\times { 10 }^{ -3 }kj \ { mol }^{ -1 }\times 298K)\)
During calculation always remember the units of different quantities, i.e.
\(\Delta H,\Delta U\) and R must be the same.

By conventional method. CH3COOH = 2x + 4 - 4 = 0 or x = 0
By chemical bonding method, C2 is attached to three H-atoms (less electronegative than carbon) and one-COOH group (more electronegative than carbon).
\(H\overset { 2 }{ - } \overset { \overset { H }{ I } }{ \underset { \overset { I }{ H } }{ C } } -\overset { \overset { 0 }{ II } }{ C } -OH\)
therefore, O.N. of C2 = 3 (+1) + x + 1 (-1) = 0 or x = -2
C1 is, however, attached to one oxygen atom by a double bond, one .O.H (O.N. = -1) and one CH3 (O.N. = +1) group, therefore, O.N. of C1 = + 1 + x + 1
