Solution

Pyrrole is classified as aromatic.

Explanation

Pyrrole is a five-membered ring compound containing four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. It has a conjugated system of π (pi) electrons, which allows it to follow Hückel's rule for aromaticity:

  1. It has a planar structure.
  2. It has a continuous ring of p orbitals.
  3. It contains 4n+24n + 2 π electrons (where nn is a non-negative integer). In the case of pyrrole, there are six π electrons (the nitrogen atom contributes one lone pair, which can participate in the aromatic ring).

Therefore, pyrrole is considered aromatic.
