Arrange the following in the order of decreasing basicity \(\begin{array}{ccc}\mathrm{RN}=\mathrm{CHR}^1 & \mathrm{RC} \equiv \mathrm{N} & \mathrm{RNH}_2 \ \text { I } & \text { II } & \text { III }\end{array}\)

  1. A I \(>\) III \(>\) II
  2. B III \(>\) I \(>\) II
  3. C II \(>\) III \(>\) I
  4. D II \(>\) I \(>\) III
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) III \(>\) I \(>\) II

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{RNH}_2, \mathrm{~N}\) atom is \(\mathrm{sp}^3\) hybridised. In \(\mathrm{RN}=\mathrm{CHR}\), \(\mathrm{N}\) atom is \(\mathrm{sp}^2\) hybridised whereas in \(\mathrm{RC} \equiv \mathrm{N}, \mathrm{N}\) atom is sp hybridised. The sp hybridised \(\mathrm{N}\) atom is…
