Top Questions on Amines
- The best reagent for converting propanamide into propanamine is:
- Give plausible explanation for the following: (a) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are stable.
(b) Aniline does not undergo Friedel–Crafts reaction.
(c) Aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of meta product. - The chemical test which can be used to distinguish between ethanamine and aniline is:
- Assertion (A): Acetamide (structure: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NHCOCH}_3\)) is less basic than aniline.
Reason (R): Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen. - If amines are arranged in increasing order of their basic strength in gaseous phase, the correct order will be:

Questions Asked in JEE Main exam
- Consider a long thin conducting wire carrying a uniform current \( I \). A particle having mass \( M \) and charge \( q \) is released at a distance \( a \) from the wire with a speed \( v_0 \) along the direction of current in the wire. The particle gets attracted to the wire due to magnetic force. The particle turns round when it is at distance \( x \) from the wire. The value of \( x \) is:

- Let the position vectors of the vertices A, B, and C of a tetrahedron ABCD be \( \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \), \( \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} \), and \( 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k} \) respectively. The altitude from the vertex D to the opposite face ABC meets the median line segment through A of the triangle ABC at the point E. If the length of AD is \( \frac{\sqrt{10}}{3} \) and the volume of the tetrahedron is \( \frac{\sqrt{805}}{6\sqrt{2}} \), then the position vector of E is:
