Question:

If amines are arranged in increasing order of their basic strength in gaseous phase, the correct order will be:

Show Hint

Inductive effect increases basicity.

  • NH₃ < CH₃NH₂ < (CH₃)₃N < (CH₃)₂NH

  • NH₃ < (CH₃)₂NH < (CH₃)₃N < CH₃NH₂

  • (CH₃)₃N < (CH₃)₂NH < CH₃NH₂ < NH₃

  • NH₃ < CH₃NH₂ < (CH₃)₂NH < (CH₃)₃N
