Localized vs. Delocalized Bonds
π Localized bonds are fixed between two specific atoms or nuclei, meaning their position does not shift.
π Sigma bonds ( bonds) are typically localized, while pi bonds ( bonds) can be either localized or delocalized.
βοΈ Molecules containing only localized bonds (e.g., Hβ, HβO, NHβ) can be represented by a single Lewis structure.
Delocalized Bonding and Resonance
π Delocalized bonds occur when electrons (especially electrons) are not fixed but move throughout the molecular system, often due to conjugation.
βοΈ A molecule exhibiting delocalization (like Benzene) cannot be represented by a single Lewis structure; instead, it is represented as a resonance hybrid of multiple contributing structures (canonical forms).
π§ͺ Benzene is the classic example, possessing six localized bonds (C-C and C-H) and three delocalized bonds moving around the ring.
Resonance Structures and Representation
βοΈ Resonance structures are indicated by a double-headed arrow () between the contributing structures (canonical forms).
𧬠The actual structure is the resonance hybrid, which is a combination or average of all contributing structures.
π― Contributing structures are also called canonical structures, and the final, stabilized structure is the hybrid.
Key Points & Insights
β‘οΈ Focus on understanding concepts over rote memorization in Organic Chemistry, as understanding allows you to derive answers independently.
β‘οΈ Localized bonds are fixed (e.g., bonds), while delocalized bonds move, usually indicated by electrons in a conjugated system.
β‘οΈ A molecule with only localized bonds requires only one Lewis structure for representation (e.g., Hβ, HβO).
β‘οΈ Molecules exhibiting conjugation display delocalization and require multiple resonance structures to be accurately described.
