NEET Chemistry Basicity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The basic strength of an amine is influenced only by the +I or -I effect of its substituents.
Reason (R): Solvation effect and steric hindrance are other factors that can affect the basicity 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 assertion is incorrect because amine basicity is influenced by multiple factors, not just the inductive effect. The reason is correct as it highlights solvation effect and steric hindrance as additional factors.
