Physics is fun.

Topic Ideas
Both of the topics already exists. Here are the topics and the extra sections that I will add in addition to what already exists:

Topic 1 (chosen topic): Aryl
Nomenclature (this will include different types of aryl groups too) – diagrams of the different groups
 * The information will be taken from: http://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/ (this site contains the rules for IUPAC nomenclature)
 * Info will contain the name for different aryl groups that exists and how they are referred to according to IUPAC
 * Will use diagrams to show the different aryl groups. These diagrams will be taken from Wikimedia Commons (pictures which are available in the public domain, such as this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Phenyl-group-circle-2D-skeletal.png)

Reactions
 * Of Aryl Halides
 * Of (another aryl compound)


 * Info will be taken from "Organic Chemistry" by Jonathan Clayden - are textbooks okay for references?

Topic 2: Monomer
Nomenclature Polymerisation (could find diagrams of these reactions, or find photos of monomers and polymers)
 * Dehydration polymers
 * Addition polymers

Topic draft - Aryl
This will be added into the article itself later on.

Nomenclature
The most basic aryl compound is phenyl, whose derivatives can be named according to the functional group connected to the phenyl group itself. The naming could be done with respect to the phenyl group itself, where the phenyl group is described with the suffix "-benzene". Alternatively, the naming could be done with respect to the side chain itself, where the phenyl group will be referred to as "phenyl".

As an example, consider a hydroxyl group connected to a phenyl group. The organic compound could be named with respect to the benzene ring, resulting in the name hydroxybenzene. Alternatively, and more commonly, this compound can be named with respect to the hydroxyl group, resulting in the more familiar name phenol.

For aryl compounds with greater than six carbons (NOTE: are they sill considered aryls?), they are collectively referred to as annulenes. Their molecular formula is CnHn+1 (where n is greater than 6), and is named as [n]annulene.

Other common aryl compounds include:

Halogen-metal exchange of aryl halides
The halogen atom of an aryl halide atom could be exchanged for a metal atom using an organometallic reagent. An example of such reaction is the reaction between bromobenzene and an organolithium reagent, where there is a nucleophillic attack of the lithium cation on bromine: (insert an image of the reaction here, followed by an explanation of why reaction works)

Other possible section for reactions: Stille coupling, Suzuki coupling, Sonogashira reaction (need to read the details to see if worth adding to the section)
