Delocalized electron in cyclohexene?

AI Thread Summary
Delocalization of electrons occurs when there is a network of pi bonds, as seen in benzene, where resonance structures illustrate this phenomenon. In contrast, cyclohexene has only one pi bond, resulting in localized electrons between two carbon atoms, meaning there is no delocalization. The discussion also touches on the potential for delocalization when two double bonds are adjacent, suggesting that such arrangements could lead to delocalization. Additionally, it is noted that delocalization is related to conductivity, implying that cyclohexene, lacking delocalized electrons, cannot conduct electricity effectively.

Is there any?
I was taught that for delocalization of electron to occur, pi bond must be present.
But when i did a question on it, it says that there is no delocalization on cyclohexene.

Anyone mind teaching me how and why it occur?And how to identify delocalization of electrons?

Electrons are delocalized in benzene because a pi-bond NETWORK is created (if you want to draw the resonance structure of benzene, you'll see what I mean). In cyclohexene, there is only one pi-bond and so the electrons in that pi-bond are localized between those two carbon atoms.

Pardon me,but if there are two double bond side by side,then will there by delocalization?
And does delocalization= conductivity (which mean cyclohexene can't conduct electricity)?
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
