    The decreasing order of basic character of the three amines and ammonia is:

    A) \[N{{H}_{3}}>C{{h}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    B) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>N{{H}_{3}}>{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Due to presence to\[+I\]effect of alkyl group aliphatic amines are stronger bases than\[N{{H}_{3}}\]while aromatic amines are weaker bases than \[N{{H}_{3}}\]due to\[-I\]effect of phenyl group. Hence, the order of basicity is as: \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>N{{H}_{3}}>{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]
