Description

Tests the object to see if it is considered aromatic. Cycles are either aromatic or not. An atom or bond is considered aromatic if part of at least one aromatic cycle.

Return Value

Returns the aromatic property of the atom, bond, or cycle. For all other object types, this property is defined as FALSE.
