Which of the following anions is the strongest base? A)NH₂^- B)NH₃ C)CH₃CH=N^- D)CH₃C$\equiv$N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of electronegative fluorine atoms in the anion stabilizes the negative charge, making it less likely to accept a proton and therefore weaker base. Among the given options, option A has the least number of fluorine atoms, making it the strongest base. Additionally, the presence of sulfur atoms in the anion also contributes to its basicity.
