- Question
Which of the following is the strongest base?
Options- A. LiCH3
- B. LiF
- C. LiOH
- D. LiNH2
- Correct Answer
- LiCH3
ExplanationThe stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3? ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F? the least basic ion.
In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F?, OH?, NH2? and CH3? and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.

Correct Answer: Carbon Monoxide
Correct Answer: Clarke's process
Correct Answer: Methyl Isocyanate
Correct Answer: Iron
Correct Answer: Carl Linnaeus
Correct Answer: metalloid
Correct Answer: nuclear fission
Explanation:
In the atom bomb, isotopes of uranium are disintegrated with the release of a large amount of energy. Hence, the process is nuclear fission.
Correct Answer: to make air a moderate supporter of combustion
Explanation:
If air contained all oxygen and no nitrogen, everything would have burnt off
Correct Answer: adding caustic soda
Explanation:
Water containing caustic soda cannot be used for drinking
Correct Answer: Phosphorus trisulphide
Explanation:
The paste applied to the side of a match box is a mixture of phosphorus trisulphide, glass powder (or sand) to cause friction and glue (binding material)
