Question
Explain why \[\ce{MeNH2}\] is stronger base than \[\ce{MeOH}\]?
Advertisements
Solution
As the electronegative of oxygen is more than the electronegativity of a nitrogen atom, the \[\ce{O - H}\] bond is more polar than the \[\ce{N - H}\] bond, therefore \[\ce{MeOH}\] is stronger acod than \[\ce{MeNH2}\] or \[\ce{MeNH2}\] 2 is stronger base than \[\ce{MeOH}\].
