Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Aromaticity | Aromaticity is a chemical property describing the way in which a conjugated ring of unsaturated bonds, lone pairs, or empty orbitals exhibits stabilization stronger than would be expected by the stabilization of conjugation alone. |

|---|---|
| Pyridine | Pyridine is a basic heterocyclic organic compound with the chemical formula C5 H5 N. It is structurally related to benzene, with one methine group (=CH-) replaced by a nitrogen atom. |
What you learn in Theory:
Aromaticity is a chemical property describing the way in which a conjugated ring of unsaturated bonds, lone pairs, or empty orbitals exhibits stabilization stronger than would be expected by the stabilization of conjugation alone.
What you learn in Practice:
Aromaticity can also be considered a manifestation of cyclic delocalization and of resonance.
