The relative basic strength of the compounds is correctly shown in the option.

  1. A \(\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}>\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{H}_4>\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}>\mathrm{NH}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{H}_4>\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{H}_4>\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{H}_4>\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct order of relative basic strength will be \(\ddot{\mathrm{NH}}_3>\ddot{\mathrm{NH}}_2-\ddot{\mathrm{NH}}_2>\ddot{\mathrm{NH}}_2-\mathrm{OH}\) In \(\mathrm{NH}_3\), the lone pair is completely available for donation, hence is most basic whereas…
