NEET Chemistry Basicity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Alkanamines are generally more basic than ammonia.
Reason (R): Alkanamines form more stable cations compared to ammonia due to the presence of alkyl groups having a +I effect.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that the basicity of amines, such as alkanamines, is influenced by the stability of the cation formed. Alkanamines are generally more basic than ammonia because the alkyl groups have an inductive effect that stabilizes the cation.
