    The correct decreasing order of basic strength of the following species is

    A)  \[O{{H}^{-}}>NH_{2}^{-}>{{H}_{2}}O>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[NH_{2}^{-}>O{{H}^{-}}>N{{H}_{3}}>{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{3}}>{{H}_{2}}O>NH_{2}^{-}>O{{H}^{-}}\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}O>N{{H}_{3}}>O{{H}^{-}}>NH_{2}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[N{{H}_{3}}\]is more basic than\[{{H}_{2}}O,\]therefore,\[NH_{2}^{-}\]is a stronger base than\[O{{H}^{-}}\]. Thus, the decreasing order of basic strength is \[NH_{2}^{-}>O{{H}^{-}}>N{{H}_{3}}>{{H}_{2}}O\]
