Question

Which among the given elements form the strongest base?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E
• F. F
• G. G

Answer 1

Answer: (G)

G

In a period from left to right, the basic nature of elements decreases due to decrease in size and decrease in the ability to lose an electron and in a group from top to bottom the basic nature of elements increases due to increase in size and increase in the ability to lose an electron. Generally strong bases donate electrons easily. So the strong basic element is G in the given representation of the periodic table.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{G}$
