NEET2023Chemistry
Q.
The number of bonds, bonds and lone pair of electrons in pyridine, respectively are:
- A
- B
- C
- 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.
