For the two statements given below, analyse for the following:
(a) Pyridine and Pyrrole both are weak bases, but pyridine is much more basic than pyrrole.
(b) Lone pair associated with nitrogen in Pyridine is entirely with nitrogen and not delocalised into the aromatic Π system, whereas in Pyrrole unshared pair belonging to nitrogen must be added to the 4Π e- of 2 double bonds and thus is delocalised into the aromatic Π system.
1
Only (a) is true
2
Only (b) is true
3
Both (a) and (b) are true and (b) is the correct explanation of (a)
4
Both (a) and (b) are true but (b) is not the correct explanation of (a)
