Easy Way To Determine Aromaticity: Aromatic, Antiaromatic, Nonaromatic

Quick and easy tricks to determine whether molecules are aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic... especially helpful for #dat questions. Common confusions involving hetercyclics and charges is cleared up in this video. And you don't have to memorize Hückel's Rule to determine whether molecules are aromatic, antiaromatic, or non aromatic.

Thank you for yet another helpful video!

omg.... you made my exact issues with aromatic molecules so much more clear... thanks

Thanks for the video, it's really helpful! I have two questions though:
1. Why do you count the positive charges as conjugated? Would you not only count them if there are atoms or compounds near-by that have lone pairs and could put them where the positive charges are? When only seeing the positive charge I learned it isn't counted, now I'm confused.
2. I found a structure where it says it's not aromatic but I would count double single double single there. It's a ring of five carbons with double bonds on the two lower sides (like around 4:12 when the lone pair is on top). On top there is a double bond and then an oxygen with two free pairs of electrons. Would you consider this structure aromatic or non-aromatic and why? Really hope you can help me with that one.

If anyone else here is able to answer the questions feel free to do so!

Thank you for helping me understand but I only have one question .why aren’t you counting the +charge at 9:15 to make it 8 pi electrons resulting to anti aromatic?

Amazingly simplified! Couldn't explain it better, thank you!!

Well cyclooctatetraen isn’t planar in the first place
