    Correct order of basic strength is

    A) \[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}>NaOH>Al{{(OH)}_{3}}\]

    B) \[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}>Al{{(OH)}_{3}}>NaOH\]

    C) \[NaOH>Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}>Al{{(OH)}_{3}}\]

    D) \[Al{{(OH)}_{3}}>Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}>NaOH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Generally, basic strength of oxides/hydroxides decreases, as we move from left to right in a period of Periodic Table. Hence, alkali metal hydroxides are most basic and the order of basic strength is as                 \[NaOH>Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}>Al{{(OH)}_{3}}\]
