out of naoh and koh which is stronger base and why?
Answers
Answer:
Hey mate here is your answer
Sodium is less electronegative than Potassium, so NaOH is more willing to release the hydroxy group and is the stronger base. ... 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.
Hope this will help you :)

Explanation:
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**.
