    Which one of the following ionic species has the greatest proton affinity to form stable compound?

    A)  \[H{{S}^{-}}\]

    B)  \[NH_{2}^{-}\]

    C)  \[{{F}^{-}}\]           

    D)  \[{{I}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Proton affinity i.e., basicity depends upon the strength of H-A bond (where, A = S, N, F, I). \[{{F}^{-}}\] forms the strongest bond. So, it has the greatest proton affinity to form hydride.
