  2. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  3. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical properties. Such a resonance structure is called a Clar structure. In other words, a ...

  4. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [1]

  5. Naphthalene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene

    The selectivity for alpha over beta substitution can be rationalized in terms of the resonance structures of the intermediate: for the alpha substitution intermediate, seven resonance structures can be drawn, of which four preserve an aromatic ring.

  6. Tropylium cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropylium_cation

    [8] [9] The ionic structures of tropylium perchlorate (C 7 H + 7 ClO − 4) and tropylium iodide (C 7 H + 7 I −) have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. [10] The bond length of the carbon-carbon bonds is longer (147 pm) than those of benzene (140 pm) but still shorter than those of a typical single-bonded species like ethane (154 pm).

  7. Split-ring resonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-ring_resonator

    There is the 1-D Split-Ring Structure with two square rings, one inside the other. One set of cited "unit cell" dimensions would be an outer square of 2.62 mm and an inner square of 0.25 mm. 1-D structures such as this are easier to fabricate compared with constructing a rigid 2-D structure. [24] The Symmetrical-Ring Structure is another ...

  8. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    School resonating mass experiment. Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to absorb more energy when the frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration than it does at other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and even catastrophic failure in improperly constructed structures ...

  9. Cyclopentadienyl anion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentadienyl_anion

    Resonance structures of the cyclopentadienyl anion The cyclopentadienyl anion is a planar, cyclic , regular- pentagonal ion; it has 6 π-electrons (4 n + 2, where n = 1), which fulfills Hückel's rule of aromaticity.
