Question

Hi! Can someone please help me out with basicity?

Answer 1

@Kainui is it D?

Answer 2

I know that the more carbons you have, the more basic it is

Answer 3

and S- is a better Nucelophile than O-

Answer 4

@Joel_the_boss thanks!

Answer 5

Is it D?

Answer 6

The question is which one is the most basic/better Nucleophile

Answer 7

In chemistry, a base is a substance that, in aqueous solution, is slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the colour of indicators, reacts with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions. Examples of bases are the hydroxides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals. Such substances produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions, and are thus classified as Arrhenius bases. For a substance to be classified as an Arrhenius base, it must produce hydroxide ions in solution—in order to do so, Arrhenius believed the base must contain hydroxide in the formula. This makes the Arrhenius model limited, as it cannot explain the basic properties of aqueous solutions of ammonia or its organic derivatives. In the more general Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, a base is a substance that can accept hydrogen ions —otherwise known as protons. In the Lewis model, a base is an electron pair donor. In water, by altering the autoionization equilibrium, bases give solutions with a hydrogen ion activity lower than that of pure water, i.e., a pH higher than 7.0 at standard conditions. A soluble base is called an alkali if it contains and releases OH⁻ ions quantitatively.

Found this so maybe it can give you a simple review on what Basicity is. I want you to learn and not simply get the answer. :)

Answer 8

I appreciate that!

Answer 9

I believe I am right then, S can get better H

Answer 10

@Joel_the_boss That's not what basicity is...

Answer 11

If your not in to much of a rush, @abb0t is an awesome Chemistry helper, I recommend him for these types of questions. :)

Hmm? @ParthKohli What are you thinking about his choice? It's not? Explain? :/

Answer 12

Basicity is a property of acids.

Answer 13

ok, the thing is, I'm just not 100% sure I'm right about this one

Answer 14

@abb0t?

Answer 15

@ParthKohli but why am I wrong?

Answer 16

Um I think your correct with the answer.

@ParthKohli Can you please explain if hes wrong, like I said im trying to give him help not an answer. If you could clarify where hes wrong then we can teach him something.

Thanks. :)

Answer 17

thanks allot!

Answer 18

Your welcome. :)

Answer 19

What is the question?

Answer 20

I got this @abb0t thanks though!
