Question
Correct statement(s) about Pyrrole and pyridine.Pyrrole is more basic than PyridinePyridine are more basic than PyrroleOnly Pyridine are Aromatic in naturePyrrole and Pyridine both are Aromatic in nature
Solution
The correct statement about Pyrrole and Pyridine is:
"Pyridine is more basic than Pyrrole"
Explanation:
-
Pyridine is more basic than Pyrrole: This is because in pyridine, the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that is not involved in the aromatic system and is available for donation, making it a base. In pyrrole, the nitrogen's lone pair is part of the aromatic system and is not readily available to act as a base.
-
Only Pyridine is Aromatic in nature: This statement is incorrect. Both pyrrole and pyridine are aromatic. Pyrrole is aromatic because it has 6 π electrons (4 from the double bonds and 2 from the nitrogen's lone pair) which satisfies Hückel's rule. Pyridine is also aromatic because it has 6 π electrons all from the carbon-carbon double bonds.
-
Pyrrole and Pyridine both are Aromatic in nature: This statement is correct as explained above. Both pyrrole and pyridine are aromatic compounds.
