Question:medium

Two statements, one Assertion and the other Reason are given. Choose the correct option.
Assertion: Heterocyclic compounds like Pyridine and Thiophene are non-aromatic compounds.
Reason: According to Hückel's rule for a given compound to exhibit aromaticity, the molecule must be planar, cyclic system having delocalized \( (4n + 2) \pi \) electrons.

Show Hint

Hückel's rule applies to aromatic compounds and states that they must have a cyclic, planar structure with \( (4n + 2) \pi \) electrons, where \( n \) is a non-negative integer. Pyridine and Thiophene both meet these conditions and are aromatic compounds.
