Question

What is delocalized bonding?

Answer 1

1. The word delocalized means instability of bonding.
2. This results in continuous motion of the pi bonds from one place to another to achieve stability.
3. The compounds show delocalization in two ways: organic compounds show conjugation, and the metal shows the electrical and thermal conductivity by the movement of electrons.
4. Taking an example: Benzene
5. The delocalization occurs in three bonds present in the Benzene ring.
6. The resonance structure of Benzene is as follows:
