What is Understanding Aromatic Compounds about?

Furan is a five-membered heterocycle containing an oxygen atom. It has the following orbital picture showing aromaticity: The four sp2 hybridized carbon atoms each contribute one p orbital perpendicular to the plane of the ring. This gives four p orbitals. The oxygen atom is also sp2 hybridized. Its lone pair of electrons occupies another p orbital perpendicular to the plane of the ring. This gives a total of five p orbitals with five p electrons, satisfying Hückel
