Rules for Drawing Resonance
Contributors
1. Only electrons move.
2. Only electrons and lone-pair electrons move.
3. The total number of electrons in the molecule
does not change.
4. An sp3carbon cannot accept electrons;it already has an octet.
5. Do not break sigma bonds.

Delocalization Energy
The delocalization energy is the extra stability a compound has
as a result of having delocalized electrons.
Electron delocalization is also called resonance.
Delocalization energy is also called resonance energy.
The resonance hybrid is more stable than any of its
resonance contributors is predicted to be.

The Greater the Number of Relatively Stable Resonance
Contributors,The Greater the Delocalization Energy
The delocalization energy is greater for the carboxylate ion
than for the carboxylic acid.

The Number of Relatively Stable Resonance
Contributors is What is Important
Little delocalization energy
Significant delocalization energy
7/26/2019 08 Lecture
31/114
2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The greater the predicted stability of a resonance
contributor, the more it contributes to the resonance hybrid.
The greater the number of relatively stable resonance
contributors, the greater the delocalization energy.
The more nearly equivalent the resonance contributors,
the greater the delocalization energy.

Criteria for a Compound to Be Aromatic
It must have an uninterrupted cloud of
electrons.(cyclic, planar, every ring atom must have aporbital).
The cloud must have an odd number of pairs of electrons.

Resonance Contributors of Pyrrole
The aromatic ring of pyridine is less electron dense than benzenebecause the nitrogen withdraws electrons from the ring.
The aromatic ring of pyrrole is more electron dense than benzene
because the nitrogen donates electrons into the ring.
