Q.

The number of bonds, bonds and lone pair of electrons in pyridine, respectively are:

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

Solution

Pyridine () has a six-membered aromatic ring with five CH carbons and one ring nitrogen.

bonds: five C–H + five C–C(or C–N) ring bonds + one ring C–N ring + C–H = .

bonds: three within the aromatic ring.

Lone pair: one on the nitrogen, in the orbital pointing out of the ring (not part of the aromatic system).

Hence , , lone pair.
