Abstract
The lengths of the links in conjugated chain molecules C2nH2n+2 and in condensed aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene and diphenyl are calculated on the assumption that there is a simple interaction energy between all contiguous carbon‐carbon bonds. The lengths thus deduced are in excellent agreement with those determined by the use of quantum‐mechanical ideas of resonance.Keywords
