For "conventional" cyclic compounds, aromaticity is conferred by the presence of 4n + 2 delocalized pi electrons, where n is an integer. Source: Internet

In molecular orbital theory, the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) helps describe the delocalized molecular orbital structures and energies based on the atomic orbitals of the atoms they came from. Source: Internet

In this way, the negative charge on oxygen is delocalized on to the ortho and para carbon atoms. Source: Internet

Kinetic thermal energy adds to this speed and also causes delocalized electrons to travel farther away from the nuclei. Source: Internet
