$CH_3^{\ominus} > NH_2^{\ominus} > CH_3O^{\ominus} > CH_3COO^{\ominus}$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Nucleophilicity is the tendency of a species to donate an electron pair to an electrophile. For species in the same period,nucleophilicity decreases as electronegativity increases. The electronegativity order of the donor atoms is $C Thus,the basicity and nucleophilicity order is $CH_3^{\ominus} > NH_2^{\ominus} > CH_3O^{\ominus}$. $CH_3COO^{\ominus}$ is the least nucleophilic due to resonance stabilization of the negative charge. Therefore,the correct order is $CH_3^{\ominus} > NH_2^{\ominus} > CH_3O^{\ominus} > CH_3COO^{\ominus}$.
