- Both pyridine and pyrrole are nitrogen containing aromaticheterocyclic compounds. When treated with HCI, only pyridine forms a hydrochloride salt, whereas pyrrole is unreactive Which of the following is not a valid explanation for this observed reactivity? pyridine ругrole O The lone pair on pyridine is not part of the aromatic system. O The lone pair on pyridine can be protonated without disrupting the aromatic stability. O The lone pair on pyrrole is sp hybridized and is less prone to protonation. O Protonation of pyrrole leads to a nonaromatic cation, which is less stable O The lone pair on pyrrole is involved in making the compound aromatic and thus is less susceptible to protonation.arrow_forwardRank the following compounds in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic attack.arrow_forwardRank group of compounds from most reactive to least reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution: :- benzene, benzoic acid, phenol, propylbenzenearrow_forward
