4. CsOH>KOH>NaOH>LiOH
Answer: 4
CsOH (Cesium Hydroxide): is the strongest base among the alkali metal hydroxides because Cesium (Cs) is the largest alkali metal, and its larger size leads to weaker attraction to the hydroxide ion (OH-), resulting in a greater degree of dissociation and thus stronger basicity.
KOH (Potassium Hydroxide):Follows CsOH in basicity due to the larger size of Potassium (K) compared to Sodium (Na) and Lithium (Li).
NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide):Is less basic than KOH because of the smaller size of Sodium (Na) compared to Potassium (K).
LiOH (Lithium Hydroxide): The
least basic in this group due to the smallest size of Lithium (Li) ion, leading
to a stronger electrostatic attraction to the OH- ion.
