The strongest base among the following is
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
The basicity is a measure of a compound's ability to accept a proton ( H ⁺ ) . (2) and (4) are weaker bases as the lone pair are involved in resonance. In (a) carbon adjacent to N is s p^2 hybridised hence is more electronegative therefore, pulls the electron density from nitrogen.
