NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3sb114

Among the hydroxides of alkali metals, the strongest base is:

A $LiOH$
B $CsOH$
C $NaOH$
D $KOH$

Answer: B

Basic strength rises down the group because the M-OH bond becomes weaker and ionisation easier as the cation gets bigger.

CsOH

is therefore the strongest base among these.
