It is an empirically established fact that the total π‐electron energy ( E ) of benzenoid hydrocarbons is a linear function of the number of Kekulé structures ( K ). A general class of approximate formulas for E is shown to exhibit the required linear dependency on K . The condition for this is that the highest occupied molecular orbitals ( MOS ) are nondegenerate and well separated from the second highest occupied MOS .
