Organic Chemistry deals mostly with carbon and hydrogens, also called hydrocarbons, but those groups which replace hydrogen and bonds with carbon to give a characteristic nature, unique of their own, to the hydrocarbon they are attached to, are called fu…

Characteristics Of Functional Groups

In organic chemistry, we encounter a number of special substituent groups which are attached to the hydrocarbon backbone. These groups impart certain characteristics to the molecule of which it is a part of and thus, become the highlight of that particul…

IUPAC Nomenclature

In Chemistry, IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry which suggested a systematic naming approach for the organic and inorganic compounds, as in the beginning stage of nomenclature one single chemical compound was named in man…

a In what type of orbital does the lone pair on each N atom in the heterocycle reside?

b. Explain why the bicyclic ring system that contains both N atoms is aromatic.

c. Draw all reasonable resonance structures for the bicyclic ring system.

Definition Definition Rule that estimates whether a given organic planar ring structure will show an aromatic property. A cyclic ring molecule is said to follow Hückel’s rule if the л-electrons count in a molecule is [4n+2], where n stands for a positive numerical value. It is also called the [4n+2] rule. Hückel's rule, sometimes referred to as the aromaticity rule, is one but not the only criteria to judge a molecule for aromaticity.
