Rank the following anions in terms of increasing basicity: The structure of an anion, H O has a negative charge on the oxygen atom. The bond-line structure of an anion has a two-carbon chain. C 1 is a carbonyl group. The carbonyl carbon is bonded to an oxygen atom carrying a negative charge. The bond-line structure of an anion has a three-carbon chain. C 2 is bonded to a methyl group and an oxygen atom carrying a negative charge. The bond-line structure of an anion has a two-carbon chain. C 1 is bonded to an oxygen atom carrying a negative charge. A B C D

The ranking in terms of decreasing basicity is

  • A
  • C
  • D
  • B

Basicity of the the anion refers to the ease with which the anions abstract hydrogen.

A is the most basic since the negative charge is accommodated on a highly electronegative atom such as oxygen.

C is the next most basic because the carbon atom bearing the oxygen that carries negative charge is also bonded to a methyl group which is an electron pushing group and reinforces the negative charge.

D is the next most basic because the negative charge is accommodated on an oxygen atom directly bonded to carbon with no electron pushing substituent.

B is the least basic because the carbonyl group makes the carbon atom bearing the negative charge less basic.
