Delocalized electron information


Benzene, with the delocalization of the electrons indicated by the circle

In chemistry, delocalized electrons are electrons in a molecule, ion or solid metal that are not associated with a single atom or a covalent bond.[1]

The term delocalization is general and can have slightly different meanings in different fields:

  • In organic chemistry, it refers to resonance in conjugated systems and aromatic compounds.
  • In solid-state physics, it refers to free electrons that facilitate electrical conduction.
  • In quantum chemistry, it refers to molecular orbital electrons that have extended over several adjacent atoms.
