Aromaticity is a property associated with the extra stability of certain types of systems due to the nature of their molecular orbital. Aromaticity is a property in which the stabilization of the molecule is strong due to the ability of the electrons in the p-orbitals to delocalize and act as a framework to create a planar molecule. The most common Aromatic compound is BENZENE.
1. Conjugated: There needs to one "p" orbital from each atom in the cycle, so each atom must be either sp2 or sp hybridised or Each atom in the cycle must have p orbital, forming p orbital loop.
4. HUCKLE RULE
For monocyclic planar compounds in which each atom has a p-orbital (as in benzene) Hckel showed that: compounds with (4n + 2) p electrons, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc, would have closed shells of delocalised p electrons and such compounds show exceptional stability (high resonance energy aromatic). i.e. planar monocycles with 2, 6, 10, 14 and so on, delocalised p electrons should be aromatic. i.e. p electrons are delocalised over the entire ring and the compound is thereby stabilised by the delocalisation.
HYPERCONJUGATION
Hyperconjugation is the stabilising interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a -bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or a -orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.
Tautomerism
1. 2. Tautomers are isomers (constitutional isomers) of organic compounds that readily interconvert by a chemical reaction called tautomerization. This reaction commonly results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom or proton, accompanied by a switch of a single bond and adjacent double bond. The concept of tautomerization is called Tautomerism. Tautomerism is a special case of structural isomerism and can play an important role in non-canonical base pairing in DNA and especially RNA molecules.

HYDROGEN BONDING
1. A hydrogen bond is a weak type of force that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction which occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons. 2. These bonds are generally stronger than ordinary dipoledipole and dispersion forces, but weaker than true covalent and ionic bonds.
2.
They can occur between any number of like or unlike molecules as long as hydrogen donors and acceptors are present an in positions in which they can interact. For example, intermolecular hydrogen bonds can occur between NH3 molecules alone, between H2O molecules alone, or between NH3 and H2O molecules.
The attraction is created by an electronic transition into an excited electronic state, and is best characterized as a weak electron resonance. The excitation energy of this resonance occurs very frequently in the visible region of the electro-magnetic spectrum, which produces the intense color characteristic for these complexes. These optical absorption bands are often referred to as chargetransfer bands (CT bands). Optical spectroscopy is a powerful technique to characterize charge-transfer bands. Example- Blue charge-transfer band exhibited by iodine when combined with starch.
