Concept explainers
Rank the following ions in order of increasing basicity.
a.
b.
(a)
Interpretation: The order of increasing basicity for the given ions is to be ranked.
Concept introduction: A strong base possesses a weak conjugate acid and a strong acid has a weak conjugate base. In the periodic table, the basicity of ions decreases across a row as the electronegativity increases on moving from left to right and down a column as the size of atom increases on moving from top to bottom.

(d)
Interpretation: The order of increasing basicity for the given ions is to be ranked.
Concept introduction: In hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the order of basicity is predicted by their s-character. More is the s-character, less is the basicity or less is the s-character, more is the basicity.
Answer to Problem 2.51P
The order of increasing basicity for the given ions is shown in Figure 2.
Explanation of Solution
The given ions are,
