MCQ
Strongest nucleophile in polar protic solvent is
- A${F^\Theta }$
- B${Cl^\Theta }$
- ✓${I^\Theta }$
- D${Br^\Theta }$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
${I^\Theta }$
c
In polar protic solvents (e.g. water and alcohols, any solvent with $OH$ ) nucleophilicity increases as you go down the periodic table ($F^- \,<\, Cl^-\,<\, Br^-\,<\, I^-$ )
