Conjugation: Anything that is or can be sp
hybridized is stabilized when next to π bonds.
• oxygens, nitrogens, cations, radicals, and anions

1. Any atom that can be sp
will be sp
when next to a double bond
2
2. “Conjugation” is when sp
centers are joined in an uninterrupted series of 3 or more, such that
an uninterrupted series of p-orbitals is possible
2
3. Any sp
center has one p orbital
