1. A classical species can be adequately represented by a single Lewis structure involving simple 2c-2e bonds. A nonclassical species, on the other hand, cannot be represented adequately by a single Lewis structure. Nonclassical bonding is characterized by electron sharing or delocalization among three or more nuclei, rather than just two. Brown, H. C. (with comments from Schleyer, P. v. R.)

25. (a) The nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) is defined as the negative of the absolute magnetic shielding. Computed, for example, at the geometrical center of a ring (cage) molecule, significant negative NICS values imply diatropic ring currents and, hence, aromaticity. Paratropic ring currents are characterized by positive NICS values at or above ring centers,

33. s) is a classic example of hyperconjugation. Similarly, the hyperconjugation in 1 or 2 and 4 involves the interaction between the formally empty p-orbital on boron, B(p), in the equatorial plane of the trigonal bipyramid and the neighboring B-X bonds (B-X⋯B(p)).
