(A) Pyrrole is more basic than pyridine.
(R) In pyrrole, nitrogen is `sp^(2)`-hybridized.

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are ture, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct assertion: Pyrrole is less basic than pyridine.
Correct reason: In pyrrole, nitrogen is `sp^(2)` hybridized and the lone pair of electrons on N is involved in aromatic sextet formation.
