Which of the following is strongest nucleophile
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
CN−C{N^ - }
Option C (CN−C{N^ - }) is the strongest nucleophile because carbon is less electronegative than oxygen, making the carbon atom in cyanide more willing to donate its electrons compared to the oxygen in hydroxide or ethoxide. Also, cyanide is a weaker base than ethoxide, making it a better nucleophile.
