Question

hey guys;!
help needed!

which of the following is more basic in nature :-

Na (Sodium)
or
K (potassium).

give answer with breif detail

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak {Hey There!}$
$\bold {Answer :-}$ Sodium or Potassium is a base only in aqueous solution. Sodium is less electronegative than Potassium, so NaOH is more willing to release the hydroxy group and is the stronger base. they have no ability to attract or donate protons (H+). OH- is a strong base because on meeting any available H+ it will form water. An alkoxide ion such as CH3O- will attract H+ more strongly than OH-, so it is a stronger base. Hence NaOH which gives OH ions easily then KOH, is stronger.

Thus, we can conclude that sodium hydroxide is a stronger base.
