Q. Which one of the following has the highest Nucleophilicity ?

UPSEEUPSEE 2017Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

As nucleophilicity decreases as we move from left to right in the period, means small anions of the same nature and period (i.e. hydride anions and $F ^{-}$ ) have order of nucleophilic nature:

$F<\,O<\,N<\,C $

Hence, $CH _{3}^{-}$ has highest nucleophilicity.
