Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products are to be stated for the given process. Each labeled atom is to be classified as Brønsted base, Brønsted acid, nucleophilic center, electrophilic center and leaving group.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted Lowry acid-base reactions are those reactions in which electron pair displacement takes place and electrophilic center is a proton. The species which accepts a proton is known as Brønsted base. On the other hand, the species which donates a proton is termed as Brønsted acid.
(b)

- The Lewis structures of both pyridine and pyrrole have an electron pair on the nitrogen atom, suggesting that both substances might possess basic properties. However, the only pyridine reacts readily with HCl to form pyridinium chloride, while pyrrole is rather unreactive.
