Are these molecules conjugated?
If Org 2 has an overall theme, it’s “resonance”. Today’s post has a very simple message. Atoms with lone pairs, π bonds, radicals, and carbocations can

7 Factors that stabilize negative charge in organic chemistry
Like I wrote about last time, it’s good – but not enough – to recognize partial charges and to figure out where they interact. Since
Read more3 Factors That Stabilize Carbocations
Three main factors increase the stability of carbocations: Increasing the number of adjacent carbon atoms: methyl (least stable carbocation) < primary < secondary < tertiary (most
