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