The answer is: Electrons are shared in each pi bond. If the pi bonds flip back and forth between the adjacent p-orbitals on the two sides of an atom, the shared electrons in the p-orbitals can become delocalized.

Electrons in pi bonds can spread over a group of atoms. This is what is meant by delocalization of a pi bonded network.

There are two kinds of bonds in chemistry, these are;

  • Sigma bonds
  • Pi bonds

Sigma bonds are formed by end to end overlap of atomic orbitals while pi bonds are formed by side by side overlap of atomic orbitals.

Sometimes, pi orbitals are well oriented in such a way that electrons are spread over the pi orbitals of several atoms. For instance, in benzene, there are six pi electrons that are spread over the six carbon atoms in benzene. This is what is meant by delocalization.

Delocalization can only occur when there is are conjugated double bond. This is why delocalization is common in many aromatic compounds. Some inorganic ions such as CO3^2- also have delocalized pi electrons.
