Which of the following ionic species has the greatest proton affinity to form stable compound?
Options
- ANH ₂⁻
- BF ⁻
- C1⁻
- DHS ⁻
Correct answer
A. NH ₂⁻
Step-by-step solution
Proton affinity decreases in moving across the period from left to right due to increase in charge. Within a group the proton affinities decreases from top to bottom. Proton affinity Nitrogen family > Oxygen family > Halogens
