Dear adplaya, cyclooctatetraene is not planar,so if u have already brocken rule 3,u cant use rules of 4n and 4n+2 pie e- aftrwards.

SO AWESOME. thank you!
-
Thanks! Soooo helpful :)
-
3:00 lol!

As you say it is basic and lone pair is in the sp2 hybridized orbital. Another thing I must say that, this 4n+2 and 4n rule is only applicable for the huckle system… There is another system called mobius system… In these systems, this rule is reversed…
However, your channel is great…………

Lone pair in the nitrogen atom is in p orbital…so there are 6 pi electrons (4n+2). So pyrrole is aromatic….If you have time, please go through a standard organic chemistry text book….In all text books, you can find that pyrrole is being considered as a aromatic compound… Also you can understand this, if you try to write resonance structures for this compound. Pyridine compound is aromatic and you are correct at that point.

Dear sister,
Your channel is fantastic….You have done a great job…..keep it up……….Anyway I noticed several mistakes in this video……Nitrogen atom of the pyrrole molecule you are showing is not sp3 hybridized… It is sp2 hybridized….lone pair is on the p orbital. Other carbon atoms are also sp2 hybridized and in every atom, there is a side to side overlapping p orbital. So that means, the system is fully conjugated.

Hey this is great!! thank you! i love your soothing voice haha it makes chemistry pleasant.

This helped a lot!

AWESOME. thanks
Rules 2 and 3 are actually the same.

@JennyFarlopez Yes, they are the same. lol... some of my people don't know they are the same ... so I thought to make them as a rule. =p

If i'm not wrong, the N in pyrrole should be sp2 not sp3. It's sp2 hybridized holding two pi electrons in the p orbital which can be delocalized and hence complete the sextet of electrons required for aromaticity..

@newsftw did I say sp3? Yeah, it is sp2. Most people count sp3. If I did say sp3 then I am one of them, too. lol :)

so angles bigger than 120 degrees will be too large for p orbital to overlap? so that would make cyclooctatetraene not planar? but what about cyclononatetraenyl cation?
awesome vid and web. Luving it :D

Cyclooctatetrene has 135 degree on each p and we learn p orbital is more stable in 120 degree - it is not favorible to retain a planar structure. For Cyclononatetraenyl cation, it is planar.
