Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The all reasonable resonance structures for pyrrole are to be drawn and an explanation that corresponds to the less resonance stabilization of pyrrole than benzene is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of bond, lone pair, or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. Pyrrole is a heterocyclic compound that contains
(b)
Interpretation: The all reasonable resonance structures for furan are to be drawn and an explanation that corresponds to the less resonance stabilization of furan than pyrrole is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of bond, lone pair, or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. Both pyrrole and furan are heterocyclic compounds that contain
