Answer:
C. No, because the carbon chain is composed of only a single ring.
Polycyclicity, having more than a single ring, is a property of only aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, if the hydrocarbon is not polycyclic, it is non-aromatic
Explanation:
Cyclic Hydrocarbons
These are organic compounds which are cyclic in structure. The compound cyclohexane involves a ring of six carbon atoms, each of which is also bonded to two hydrogen atoms
Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic ring organic compound which are based on the benzene ring structure.
A. If the hexagon contains single bonds, it is non-aromatic.
B. No. Having a ring shape does not on its own determine the aromaticity of a hydrocarbon.
C. Polycyclicity, having more than a single ring, is a property of only aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, if the hydrocarbon is not polycyclic, it is non-aromatic
D. Having double bonds within a ring is not a criteria for being aromatic. Both aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons have double bonds within their rings. However, aromatic hydrocarbons have alternate double and single bonds within their 6-carbon ring structure.
Note: Since the structure of the required hydrocarbon is not shown, the explanation contains attachments of hexagonal structures of three hydrocarbons; one non-aromatic and the other two are aromatic. Cyclohexane is non-aromatic while Benzene and the polycyclic compounds are aromatic.
