Which of the following is a strongest nucleophile in a polar protic solvent?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iodide ion (I^-) is the strongest nucleophile in a polar protic solvent due to its large size and the ability to polarize the solvent molecules around it. This enhances its ability to attack electrophiles. Fluoride ion (F^-) is the weakest nucleophile among the given options due to its small size and high negative charge density, which makes it strongly solvated by the polar protic solvent. Chloride ion (Cl^-) and Bromide ion (Br^-) are weaker nucleophiles than iodide ion due to their smaller sizes.
