NEET Chemistry Basicity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Aliphatic amines are generally more basic than ammonia. | Reason (R): Solvation and steric hindrance affect the basic strength of amines.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The basicity of aliphatic amines is higher than ammonia due to inductive effects; however, solvation and steric hindrance do affect amine basicity but do not directly explain the comparison with ammonia as stated in the assertion.
