Difficulty Quote by Paul Doughty Bartlett
“Among nonclassical ions the ratio of conceptual difficulty to molecular weight reaches a maximum with the cyclopropylcarbinyl-cyclobutyl system.”
About This Quote
Source Scientific paper, 1962
In certain ions, the difficulty of concepts peaks relative to molecular weight, especially in specific cyclopropylcarbinyl‑cyclobutyl systems.
In simple terms: Some ions are unusually complex for their size.
Key Takeaway
