Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Cyclooctatetraene has 4n pi electrons (8 pi electrons). This would make it anti aromatic. Anti aromatic compounds are essentially diradicals and so are severely unstable, to avoid this instability cyclooctatetraene twists into a non-planar structure to become non aromatic. The dianion has 10 π-electrons while dianion has 6 π - electrons Since this fulfills the 4n+2 criterion, it adopts a planar conformation to enjoy aromatic stabilisation.
