    The correct order of boiling point of ethyl dimethyl amine , n-butyl amine  and diethyl amine  is

    A)  \[B>C>A\]          

    B)  \[B>A>C\]

    C)  \[A>B>C\]           

    D)  \[C>B>A\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Among\[1{}^\circ ,2{}^\circ \]and\[3{}^\circ \]amines, the primary amine has the maximum strength to form the H-bond. The dipole-dipole attraction force also works between these molecules, hence the boiling point of primary amine is maximum. Between\[2{}^\circ \]and\[3{}^\circ \]amines, the tertiary amines does not form H-bond while secondary amine has some strength to form H-bond. Hence, the order of boiling point is as; \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  n-butyl\text{ }amine \\  \,\,\,\,1{}^\circ amine  \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,(B) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{9}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,>\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  diethyl\text{ }amine \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2{}^\circ amine  \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(C) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH}}\,>\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ethyl\text{ }diethyl\text{ }amine \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,3{}^\circ amine  \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(A) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\]
