delokalizált

Delokalizált is a German term that translates to "delocalized" in English. It is most commonly encountered in the field of chemistry, specifically in the context of electron delocalization. In chemistry, delocalization refers to the spreading of electron density over more than two atoms. This is in contrast to localized electrons, which are confined to a specific bond between two atoms or a single atom. A prominent example of delocalization is found in aromatic compounds, such as benzene. In benzene, the pi electrons are not confined to specific double bonds but are spread out in a cloud above and below the plane of the carbon ring. This delocalization of electrons contributes to the stability of aromatic systems.

The concept of delocalization also extends beyond chemistry. In economics and social sciences, "delokalisiert" can describe the relocation of production or services from one geographic location to another, often to countries with lower labor costs or more favorable regulations. This phenomenon can have significant impacts on employment, industry, and economic development in both the originating and receiving countries. The term highlights a shift in where an activity or entity is situated, implying a departure from its original or traditional location.
