Which of the following statements is true in aqueous medium?

Answer»

`CH_(2)CH_(2)S^(-)` is a stronger base and more nucleophilic than `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)S` is a stronger base but is LESS nucleophilic than `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)S^(-)` is a weaker base but is more nucleophilic than `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)S^(-)` is a weaker base and less nucleophilic than `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`

Solution :In PROTIC solvent `CH_(3)CH_(2)S^(-)` is more nucleophilic than
`CH_(3)CH_(2)O`:
