17.4 Pi Molecular Orbitals of Benzene | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a lesson on the Pi Molecular Orbitals of Benzene and other aromatic and antiaromatic compounds. He begins with an introduction to Frost circles and how they are used to draw the MO diagrams of aromatic and antiaromatic compounds including benzene, the cyclopentadienyl anion, and cyclobutadiene. He concludes the lesson by showing how to draw each of the six pi molecular orbitals of benzene.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My exam is tomorrow and you are saving my grade! Also, dope shirt!

[@ChadsPrep]

All the best on your exam!

I watched this video months ago and in my organic chemistry exam last week I had to draw the MO's of benzene. I somehow remembered it exactly. Thanks for spreading science.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the video helped, CD!

[@anderiabarzanji7354]

how I study for Ochem courses= review lecture, get confused-watch Chad prep (understand!)-review lecture again :))))))))) Thankssssssss sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - glad the channel is helping you!

[@Salmanov6]

Thanks! ❤ Could you explain the Frontier orbital theory for aromaric heterocyclic rings

[@shubdip6069]

Again very good content with good explanation

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you think so, Shubham!

[@ThreeTwentysix]

This is so good. I'll be uploading an introduction to molecular orbital theory with a different focus soon and I'll definitely link back to your channel.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear and Thank You.

I was so behind in lecture. thank you chad! You're the man

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - glad the channel/videos helped out!

[@kutayizidogru4568]

Thank you .

[@ChadsPrep]

You are welcome!

[@adamjanks4966]

How would this work for something of heptagon shape like thioazepine

[@carolinaruiz1218]

thank you so much oh my god

[@ChadsPrep]

Hi Carolina, you're welcome :)
