AI Generated Solution

To compare the acidic strength of the compounds CH₄, NH₃, H₂O, and HF, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Conjugate Bases To determine the acidic strength, we first need to identify the conjugate bases of each compound by removing a proton (H⁺): - **CH₄ (Methane)** → CH₃⁻ (Methyl anion) - **NH₃ (Ammonia)** → NH₂⁻ (Amide ion) - **H₂O (Water)** → OH⁻ (Hydroxide ion) ...
