Among the following, the correct order of basicity is
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Basicity relates to conjugate acid stability. Weaker conjugate acids mean stronger bases. Electronegativity: N < O. Alkoxide (RO⁻) is stronger than hydroxide (OH⁻) due to the electron-donating R group. Carboxylate (RCOO⁻) is resonance stabilized, making it the weakest base.
Order: NH₂⁻ > RO⁻ > OH⁻ > RCOO⁻.
