    Among the following, the correct order of basicity is

    A)  \[NH_{2}^{-}>O{{H}^{-}}>R{{O}^{-}}>RCO{{O}^{-}}\]

    B)  \[NH_{2}^{-}>R{{O}^{-}}>O{{H}^{-}}>RCO{{O}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[RCO{{O}^{-}}>NH_{2}^{-}>R{{O}^{-}}>O{{H}^{-}}\]

    D)  \[RCO{{O}^{-}}>R{{O}^{-}}>NH_{2}^{-}>O{{H}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The order of acidic strength of the given compounds is \[RCOOH>{{H}_{2}}O>ROH>N{{H}_{3}}\] Stronger the conjugated acid, weaker is its base. Hence, the order of basicity of given bases is \[NH_{2}^{-}>R{{O}^{-}}>{{H}_{2}}O>ROH>N{{H}_{3}}\]
