AI Generated Solution

To determine the decreasing order of basic strength of the compounds NH3 (ammonia), NH2OH (hydroxylamine), and NH2NH2 (hydrazine), we need to analyze the ability of each compound to donate a lone pair of electrons. Basic strength is influenced by the availability of lone pairs on the nitrogen atom and the presence of any electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Structures**: - **NH3 (Ammonia)**: Contains one nitrogen atom with one lone pair of electrons. - **NH2OH (Hydroxylamine)**: Contains one nitrogen atom with two hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl (OH) group. - **NH2NH2 (Hydrazine)**: Contains two nitrogen atoms, each with one lone pair of electrons. ...
