Chemistry - GOC Question with Solution | TestHub

Removing ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ from A gives the aromatic cyclopentadienide anion (6π), while removing ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ from B would give an anti-aromatic 8π cycloheptatrienide anion

The $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2$ group of B is more hindered than that of A

B is aromatic before deprotonation but A is not

The anion of B has more resonance structures than the anion of A
