NEET Chemistry Basicity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The basicity of amines is influenced only by the inductive effect of substituents.
Reason (R): Solvation effect and steric hindrance also affect the basic strength of amines.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
