NEET Chemistry Basicity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The basicity of an amine is influenced by the stability of the cation formed after accepting a proton.
Reason (R): The inductive effect is the only factor determining 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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The basicity of amines depends on the stability of the cation formed, but it is not determined solely by the inductive effect; other factors like solvation and steric hindrance also play a role.
