For each anion, the lone pair is the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO).

Question

For each anion, the lone pair is the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). The higher the HOMO level, the stronger the base.

Based on the lone pair's energy level, rank the bascisity of these three anions from most basic to least basic (1 being the most basic, 3 being the least basic).

Explanation / Answer

basicity depends on the ability to donate lone pairs..

so order is C>B>A
