    The order of basic strength for methyl substituted amine in aqueous solution is

    A)  \[N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}>N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}H>N(C{{H}_{3}}){{H}_{2}}\] \[>N{{H}_{3}}\]

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The order of basic strength for methyl substituted amine in aqueous solution is \[N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}H>N(C{{H}_{3}}){{H}_{2}}<N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\] This is due to the steric effect and solvent effect.
