MCQ
Base strength of

$\mathop {{H_3}C\mathop C\limits^ \ominus  {H_2}}\limits_{(i)}  \,,$$\mathop {{H_2}C = \mathop C\limits^ \ominus  H}\limits_{(ii)} $ and $\mathop {H - C \equiv \mathop C\limits^ \ominus  }\limits_{(iii)} $

is in the order of

  • A
    $(i) > (iii) > (ii)$
  • $(i) > (ii) > (iii)$
  • C
    $(ii) > (i) > (iii)$
  • D
    $(iii) > (ii) > (i)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(i) > (ii) > (iii)$
b
Weaker the acid, strongest is its conjugate base.

Among alkane, alkene and alkyne are most acidic and alkanes are least acidic, so the order of base strengths

alkane $>$ alkene $>$ alkyne

$C H_{3} \stackrel{\ominus}{C} H_{2}>H_{2} C=\stackrel{\ominus}{C} H>H-C \equiv {C}^{\ominus}$
