26. Jellium, also known as the uniform electron gas or homogeneous electron gas, is a quantum mechanical model of interacting electrons within an indefinite volume or space and neutralized with a uniformly distributed background positive charge (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellium).
27. The carbon atoms of a conjugated hydrocarbon can be divided into two sets, "starred" and "unstarred" carbon atoms, such that no two atoms of the same set are linked by a bond (see http://www.iupac.org/ reports/1999/7110 minkin/a.html).
