NEET Chemistry Basicity MCQ Question
Which combination of statements about the basicity of amines is correct?
Basicity is influenced solely by the inductive effect of substituents. Stable cations indicate stronger bases.
Steric hindrance can affect the basic strength of amines, and the basicity is related to the stability of the formed cation.
Aromatic amines are always stronger bases than aliphatic amines due to resonance stabilization.
The presence of hydrogen atoms on nitrogen directly correlates with increased basicity of amines.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The basicity of amines is affected by various factors including steric hindrance and the stability of the cation formed upon protonation, as stated in the NCERT context. Inductive effects and solvation also play roles, but not solely the inductive effect as stated in option A.
