Question

arrange and explain the acidic order of the following NH3,H2O,HCl,C2H5OH​

Answer 1

Fluorine is the most electronegative, so F− (fluoride ion) is the least willing to donate electrons (the weakest base). Overall, the electronegativity order isC(2.5)<N(3.0)<O(3.5)<F(4.0),

the order of basicity is −CH  

3

​

 (strongest base) >−NH2>HO−>F−
