Aromaticity Flashcards
1
Q
Aromatic
A
Cyclic, Planar, interrupted p orbitals around ring, 4n+2 Π electrons
- n= whole number (every other whole numbe 2,6,8 or every odd number of pairs)
2
Q
Anti Aromatic
A
Cyclic (ring), Planar (flat/trigonal planar), interrupted p orbitals around ring, 4n Π electrons
3
Q
Non Aromatic
A
Fails either of the aromatic or anti aromatic rules
4
Q
Lone Pairs
A
- Heteroatom next to pi bond = sp2
- Two LP’s on heteroatom, one is in sp2 orbital and other is in P orbital
