Question

Choose which is the stronger base. Explain why.BrO_{3}^{−} or BrO_{2}^{−}

Accepted Answer

BrO_{2}^{−};It is less stable due to poorer accommodation of negative charge by lesser O atoms and its oxyacid $$HBrO_{2 }is a $$weaker acid due to a lesser degree of electron density withdrawal from the O-H bond, making the bond stronger and less susceptible to deprotonation.

Answer

BrO_{3}^{−};It is less stable due to poorer accommodation of negative charge by more O atoms and its oxyacid $$HBrO_{3 }is a $$weaker acid due to a lesser degree of electron density withdrawal from the O-H bond, making the bond stronger and less susceptible to deprotonation.

Answer

Neither of the two;The two conjugate bases of oxyacids are similar in strength since the central atom is the same.
