Which one of the following has the highest nucleophilicity?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Nucleophilicity decreases as we move from left to right in the period. This happens because as we move from left to right, the electronegative nature increases and as a result tendency to attack a positive charge decreases. Hence, the order of nucleophilicity is:

F<O<N<C

Hence, − C H 3 has highest nucleophilicity.
