Give reasons:--- a. Primary amines are more basic than ammonia. b . Sec. amines are more basic than pr.amines.

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans— a. In pr. Amines, alkyl group increases electron density on the N-atom making it more basic than ammo b. In sec. amine, there are two alkyl groups increase electron density on N-atom more than N-atom in pr. amines in which there is one alkyl group.
