Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The all reasonable resonance structures for pyrrole are to be drawn and an explanation that corresponds to the less resonance stabilization of pyrrole than benzene is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of bond, lone pair, or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. Pyrrole is a heterocyclic compound that contains
(b)
Interpretation: The all reasonable resonance structures for furan are to be drawn and an explanation that corresponds to the less resonance stabilization of furan than pyrrole is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of bond, lone pair, or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. Both pyrrole and furan are heterocyclic compounds that contain

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
