I have been told by my instructors that for aromaticity it is necessary for the molecule to be planar, but in the given molecule Oxygen seems to be out of the plane of the conjugated system, so my question is why is this molecule aromatic ?
Why is 11-oxabicyclo(4.4.1)undeca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaene aromatic
