Solved: CHEMISTRY Question for NEET

NEET CHEMISTRYHard

The correct order of the basic strength of methyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is :

(CH $_3$ ) $_2$ NH > CH $_3$ NH $_2$ > (CH $_3$ ) $_3$ N

(CH $_3$ ) $_3$ N > CH $_3$ NH $_2$ > (CH $_3$ ) $_2$ NH

(CH $_3$ ) $_3$ N > (CH $_3$ ) $_2$ NH > CH $_3$ NH $_2$

CH $_3$ NH $_2$ > (CH $_3$ ) $_2$ NH > (CH $_3$ ) $_3$ N

Step-by-Step Solution

In aqueous solution, electron donating inductive effect, solvation effect (H-bonding) and steric hindrance all together affect basic strength of substituted amines. Basic character: (CH $_3$ ) $_2$ NH > CH $_3$ NH $_2$ > (CH $_3$ ) $_3$ N.
