Conjugate Systems

[SaintJude]

Kaplan

A molecule is conjugated because it is able to delocalize pi electrons, because they are located above and below the nuclei, and can thus be delocalized to either side of the atom

What's this about an electron being located above and below the nuclei?

sigma bonds are face to face. pi bonds are like hi five's.

Haha--thank you chiddler!I'll easily remember that pi bonds are like "hi-fives" Encountered a question that asked me to identify pi bond but I forgot how they looked like. Won't forget now.

So if the pi orbitals were considered vertical bowties, the nucleus is the inner button? And the loops represent electron density?

Not really understanding your analogy, but maybe this will help.

that works!

Would you pleased draw a sigma bond too? If pi are high fives, I'm curios what sigmas are

Yea, and what are the bottom of the pi bonds?

According to TPR It's called a low-five. Reciprocal to the high-five.

geez guys, get your minds out of the gutter.
