#1
Front (Question)

When do pi delocalization occur and why is it important?

Back (Answer)

 Can only have pi delocalization if all the atoms involved have a 2p orbital  Stabilization due to pi delocalization

#2
Front (Question)

Define conjugation

Back (Answer)

a situation in which the multiple bonds are separated by a single bond. Alternatively, a series of overlapping 2p orbitals

#3
Front (Question)

Define delocalization

Back (Answer)

the spreading of electron density over a large volume of space
