What is the decreasing order of strength of the bases OH, NH-2 , H−CΞC and CH3−CH-2

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Basic strength depends on stability of the negative ion

Less stable anion = stronger base

Also, more s-character = more stable = weaker base.

Decreasing order of basic strength:

CH₃–CH₂⁻ > NH₂⁻ > HC≡C⁻ > OH⁻
