What is the order of basicity of the alkali metal hydroxides?

As we move down the group, the ionisation enthalpy decreases. As a result, the M-OH bond is more and more easily cleaved and hence the basic strength increases down the group from LiOH < NaOH < KOH < RbOH < CsOH. read more

Saturated solutions of alkali metal hydroxides in dimethyl sulfoxide are highly basic. The values of the acidity function H varied from 20.5 to 30.5 in going from LiOH to KOH. 2. read more

Properties of Alkali Metal hydroxides The alkali metal hydroxides are the strongest of all bases.The order of basicity increases down the group, i.e., LiOH is the least basic and CsOH, the most basic hydroxide. read more
