This is not true. The sulfide ion is a stronger base than the nitrate ion.

This is because nitrogen and oxygen are very electronegative, This creates a stable anion with very little affinity for hydrogen ions.

Sulfur is much less electronegative and so the sulfide ion is less stable. So it has a much higher affinity of a hydrogen ion.

What material is used to make x-ray film base?

the first ever base was the cellulose nitrate but it flammable that contribute to the severe hospital fires during 1920's. it was then replaced by the cellulose triacetate which was not as flammable as cellulose nitrate. in the early 1960's it base was introduced. it is more resistant to warping and is stronger than the two other bases.


Which is a stronger base Cl- or F-?

F is the stronger base because it is bigger than Cl


Is ammonia a stronger base than water?

Yes. Ammonia has a pKb of 4.75. Water has a pKb of 13.995.


Is Cl a stronger base than Br?

yes it is, because HBr is a stronger acid than HCl, therfore, HBr will have a weaker conjugate base, Br, than HCl, Cl


Is ammonia or hydroxide a stronger acid?

Neither is an acid. Both are bases, hydroxide is the stronger base.

What is the stronger base ClO3 or ClO4?

Perchlorate acid is stronger than chlorate acid. Hence, according to the conjugate base, chlorate ion becomes the stronger base of the given two.


Who is stronger tyranitar or Blastoise?

Both, but Tyranitar is stronger than Blastoise 'cause he's got a base of 600 and Blastoise got base of 530.


Is PH3 is stronger than NH3?

PH3 (phosphine) is considered to be a weaker base compared to NH3 (ammonia) because the electronegativity of phosphorus is greater than nitrogen, making the lone pair on phosphorus less available for donation. This results in NH3 being a stronger base than PH3.


Is The conjugate acid of a strong base stronger acid than water?

No, the conjugate acid of most strong bases is water.


Which is the stronger base what Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide is a stronger base than potassium hydroxide. This is because sodium hydroxide has a higher dissociation constant and a higher solubility than potassium hydroxide, making it more effective at accepting protons.


Are the London dispersion forces between water molecules weaker or stronger than the London dispersion forces between molecules of hydrogen sulfide?

London dispersion force usually pertains to carbon carbon chains. It is a very weak force. For polar molecules the intermolecular force is described as dipole-dipole. Oxygen has a greater electronegativity than sulfur so its dipole-dipole force would be stronger than hydrogen sulfide. Oxygen also has the ability to hydrogen bond which is a pretty strong force.
