Basicity?

Hi  :D

I'd like to know which is more basic? Furan, Pyrazole, Thiophene?

TIA :D

I don't know.

I don't know either (and I'm not going to try to look anything up either).

Let's start with a question that we can make a better guess. Which do you think is more basic, pyrazole or pyridine? Why?

Could you explain why it should be more basic than furan? For example, I think water is more basic than H2S.
