प्रश्न
Give plausible explanation for each of the following:
Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?
उत्तर १
In a molecule of tertiary amine, there are no H−atoms whereas in primary amines, two hydrogen atoms are present. Due to the presence of H−atoms, primary amines undergo extensive intermolecular H−bonding.

\ce{N-R}\\
|\phantom{....}\\
\ce{\underset{Tertiary amine}{R}}\phantom{....}
\end{array}\]
As a result, extra energy is required to separate the molecules of primary amines. Hence, primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines.
उत्तर २
Due to the presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they undergo extensive intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines due to the absence of H-atom on the N-atom do not undergo H-bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines of comparable molecular mass.
