    Strongest base is

    A)  RbOH                                  

    B)  LiOH

    C)  KOH                                     

    D)  NaOH

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea Basic nature \[\propto \] metallic nature                                 \[\propto \] electropositive nature                 \[\propto \] atomic size                 \[\propto \frac{1}{no.\text{ }of\text{ }electron\text{ }in\text{ }outer\text{ }shell}\] The basicity of alkali metal hydroxide increase down the group because atomic size increase continuously and electropositive character also increases. Therefore, the basicity order of alkali metal hydroxide is as                 \[RbOH>KOH>NaOH>LiOH\]
