1.	What do you understand by the term conjugated system of π bonds?
Answer» When Lewis structure of a compound has two or more multiple bonds alternating with single bonds, it is called a conjugated system of π bonds. e.g. Benzene molecule [Note: In such a system or in species having an atom carrying p orbital attached to a multiple bond, resonance theory is applicable.]
