Which is the stronger base in water, NH2- or -OH?
a) NH2-, because the negative charge is delocalized making the
nitrogen more willing to accept a proton.
b) NH2-, because the nitrogen is less electronegative and cant
hold the negative charge as well as oxygen
c) -OH, because the negative charge is delocalize making the
oxygen more willing to accept a proton.
d) -OH, because oxygen is less electronegative and cant hold the
negative charge as well as nitrogen.
e) -OH, because hydroxide is the strongest base
possible
