Before proceeding further, it is imperative that we understand some basic mathematical concepts required to study this theory. We are not going to elaborately study

110.Hückel Molecular theory (HMO).
Hückel’s molecular orbital(HMO) theory. The π- electron system in conjugated planar molecules can be treated independently of the σ framework. Aromaticity is usually described in
109. Hückel’s rule.
In the last post, we introduced ourselves to a new concept in organic chemistry – Aromaticity. We will continue to discuss it in this post.
108. Introduction.
From this post onwards we begin discussing a new topic in organic chemistry. This topic deals with a certain class of organic compounds, which are
107.Resonance structures
We studied the structure of benzene in the last post. However, the structure of benzene has many resonance contributors. The resonance structures of benzene can
106. Kekule Structure
This topic is sort of a link between the earlier topic we discussed(Resonance) and the upcoming topic we shall start discussing soon. The structure of
105.Resonance Rules
In the last post, we studied what resonance means and how resonating structures blend to give the resonance hybrid structure. In this post, we shall
104.Resonance
From this post onwards, we shall start discussing a phenomenon, which manifests itself in many compounds and which is responsible for deviations in structure, properties,
53. The Structural Formulae.
In this post, we shall study how to draw structural formulae for different organic molecules. Understanding the structural representation of molecules is very important, as
52. The Molecular Formula.
We studied the concept of empirical formula in the previous post. The empirical formula gives us the relative number of elements present in the compound.
51. The Empirical Formula.
This post is dedicated to understanding the empirical formula concept in organic chemistry. In the successive posts, we shall study other types of formulae too.
50. Classification.
It gives me immense gratification to be writing this 50th post after one year of starting this blog. It gives me even more pleasure to be discussing a
