Arrange the following:
(i) In decreasing order of basic strength in the gas phase:
(ii) In increasing order of boiling point:
(iii) In increasing order of solubility in water:
(i) There is no solvation effect in the gas phase. As a result, the + I impact is primarily responsible for the fundamental strength. The firmer the base, the larger the +I impact. In addition, the...
Arrange the following in increasing order of basic strength:
