Best Answer

When lone pair of nitrogen becomes involved in resonance process (deloclization) the aromatic ring acquires the negative charge so it is also a negative pole for partially positive hydrogen of other molecule and when lone pair is on nitrogen then hydrogen bonding is also possible, it may be said that it is deloclized hydrogen bonding among the molecules.

What is benzene write its chemical equations?

Benzene is an aromatic organic molecule. Its formula is C6H6. The carbons are joined in a ring that is represented as a flat hexagon. The associated hydrogen atoms are represented as being attached to the individual carbon atoms but the electrons for sp2 bonding with the C-C bonding of the benzene molecule are actually distributed equally between each of the six carbon atoms - a phenomena referred to as electron delocalization or a superposition of so-called resonance structures. The delocalization contributes to benzene's thermodynamic stability and that of related aromatic compounds.


Write reasons cyclopentadiene is a usually acidic hydrocarbon?

Cyclopentadiene is a non aromatic compound but cyclopentadiene anion is aromatic in nature due to, 1- six pi electrons and 2- process of resonance so to stabilized itself as the aromatic anion the cyclopentadiene removes on hydrogen ion and behaves like an acid.


Why alkyl groups are o- and p- directing?

Because they donate the electrons to aromatic ring due to hyper conjugation (temporary bond breaking between carbon and hydrogen)


What is hydrogen embrittlement?

Hydrogen embrittlement is a phenomenon that occurs when some metals and alloys are exposed to hydrogen and absorb a sufficient amount of it. The presence of hydrogen interrupts the normal delocalization of bonding electrons in metal objects, and as a result, the metal object loses most or all of its ductility, breaking easily when deformed.Hydrogen embrittlement is the process by which various metals, most importantly high-strength steel, become brittle and fracture following exposure to hydrogen.


Why many aromatic hydrocarbons do not have any odor while compounds that have a pleasant odor do not have aromatic rings?

when aromatic compounds were first discovered they were called aromatic due to their plesant odours but as you have rightly pointed out compouns such as diatomic hydrogen have pleasant smells its is becuase of this that the meaning of aromaticity changed as aromatic compounds are saturated stable compounds its the notion of delocalised electrons that defines a aromatic compound now as this enhances the stabilty of the compound so chemically aromatic and aromatic are not particularly synoynymous any more in fact chemical aromacity has very little to do with aromacity and ewhat it does to the oliafactory centres that gives us the perception of smell


What are the characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons?

Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
