[edit] delocalised electron ring
The diagram shows alternating double and single bonds. Should this not be a delocalised electron ring? Does the image need to be changed? T23c 19:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In Popular Culture section
This is kinda a minor thing but I removed the part saying "In the Radiohead song 'Fake Plastic Trees' (a crackpot, a styrene man)" because the lyrics in the official album liner notes say "a cracked polystyrene man". Perhaps that could be mentioned in the polystyrene article, then? --PsychoCola 23:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
The image of the 3D atomic structure of Styrene is wrong. It depicts ethylbenzene (C8H10), not styrene (C8H8). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.15.142 (talk) 22:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- nice catch.--Smokefoot 22:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, the 3D ball structure pic was wrong. I have made a new corrected one. I will upload it sometime. H Padleckas 05:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Production via the "Shell process" (ethylbenzene hydroperoxide)
The ethylbenzene hydroperoxide formed by radical oxidation of ethylbenzene consist of nearly pure 1-Phenylethyl-1-hydroperoxide (Ph-CH(OOH)-CH3), not 2-Phenylethylhydroperoxide; the alpha-aliphatic carbon is far more prone to this reaction (by mesomeric effect of the benzene ring). Objections against edit in this respection?--84.163.108.81 (talk) 17:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dipole moment
Where does the value for the dipole moment come from? I need a reference for that value. ---96.52.137.60 (talk) This article would be a little more useful to me if it also included the various uses of the chemical/solvent "styrene"142.166.177.102 (talk) 17:26, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
