Presentation Description

A powerpoint I made for my organic chemistry class. To be honest I had no idea this was being shared, so after reviewing this 2 years later I realized that on the slide discussing cyclic or planar.. the image shown is not propane it is actually butane (C4H10). Thanks for viewing and hope it has helped someone out!

Slide 9: 

Rule #4: Hückel’s Rule 4n+2

Slide 10: 

So what if…. Compound follows rules 1-3, but does not follow Huckel’s rule? Anti-Aromatic Cyclic Planar All atoms have P orbital Huckel’s Rule

Slide 11: 

All atoms have P orbital or lone pair Cyclic Planar All atoms have P orbital or lone pair Huckel’s Rule Planar Huckel’s Rule Cyclic Summary 4n+2 CONGRATULATIONS!! You have an AROMATIC COMPOUND!!
