Question

How many p-orbitals participate in the hybridization of nitrogen in pyrrole?

Open in App
Solution



In pyrrole, the nitrogen atom has a lone pair and 3 sigma bonds.
But the lone pair is delocalised inside the ring and responsible for aromatic character of pyrrole.
The unavailibility of the lone pair and partial double bond character with NC bonds cause the nitrogen to attain an sp2-hybridisation.
