I don't understand why cyclopropene cation is not the right answer also, when asked which is NOT aromatic. It has 2 e-s, so how can it follow 4n+2 rule?
thank you!!

Just count the number of double bonds (=) in the structure. If it's odd, there's a chance that it'll be aromatic. If it's even, then it can't be aromatic. This molecule has one double bond, so we're good to go. Is it planar? In this example, the molecule is planar since 3 points define a plane. Do all atoms have an empty p-orbital? Yes -- each atom is sp-2 hybridized. There's an empty p-orbital on the cation carbon that is able to store electrons and p-orbitals overlap in the pi-bond! Therefore, it satisfies all the rules for an aromatic compound.
