Chemistry

Both pyrrole and pyridine are aromatic compounds, and undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Using a resonance argument, predict the regiochemistry of EAS on both pyrrole and pyridine. As part of your argument, you must draw resonance structures for the arenium ion leading to each possible regiochemistry, and compare the stabilities of the resonance hybrids. In addition, make a reasoned statement about whether you think each one would react faster or slower than benzene and why.
