Answer:
The Correct Answer would be Ammonium Radical. The basic radical among all the given radicals is the Ammonium(NH₄⁺) radical.
Explanation:
- Ammonium Radical is the ion made up when a Hydrogen atom(H) is added to the compound Ammonia(NH₃) in a definite proportion. It gives an extra positive charge to the radical formed and because of the positive charge, it has the tendency to give electrons to the other elements or compounds. Therefore, it is of basic nature, as it donates electrons.
- For the remaining radicals, Chromate ion(Cr₂O₇²⁻), Acetate ion(C₂H₃O²⁻) and Manganate ion(MnO₄²⁻) are all of acidic nature. They possess negative charge on them which tends to attract the electrons. Hence, they are the acidic radicals here.
