  • And now we're going to look at the other kind, which is electrocyclic reactions, where you start with a conjugated chain and curl it around to make a ring.

And this equation enables you to learn something about the electronic energy levels for linear conjugated molecules.

Examples

  • And when it gives, when it gives a proton to this, it forms the conjugate acid.

  • In organic chemistry, compounds often exhibit conjugate structures with alternating single and double bonds.

  • The basic transient response is that associated with a complex conjugate pole pair.

  • The second one, this is BMA complex conjugated is what it is.

  • So transpose and complex conjugate combined together to form Hermitian conjugate.

  • The conjugate system in the molecule allows for unique properties and reactivity.

  • He studied the effects of a conjugate compound on the reaction mechanism.

Morphology

conjugate = con + jug + ate

The chemical sense is technical and cannot be predicted from the apparent parts by an average learner; the root form 'jug' is not a separate English word.

Etymology

Conjugate comes from the Latin con- 'together' and jugare 'to yoke', so in chemistry it means parts that are joined in a line or chain. That's why a conjugate system in a molecule is a set of joined bonds that can change how the substance shows color or reacts.
