Question

What is the correct decreasing order of the basic character of the three amines and ammonia?

Options

• NH₃ > CH₃NH₂ > C₂H₅NH₂ > C₆H₅NH₂

• C₂H₃NH₂ > CH₃NH₂ > NH₃ > C₆H₅NH₂

• C₆H₆NH₂ > C₂H₅HN₂ > CH₃NH₂ > NH₃

• CH₃NH₂ > C₂H₅NH₂ > C₆H₅NH₂ > NH₃

Answer 1

C₂H₃NH₂ > CH₃NH₂ > NH₃ > C₆H₅NH₂ 

Explanation:

Amines are all more basic than ammonia, but primary and secondary amines are the most basic.
