Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Choose the correct option by arranging the following compounds in increasing order of basicity : CH₃NH₂, (CH₃)₂NH, NH₃, C₆H₅NH₂
A
C₆H₅NH₂ < NH₃ < (CH₃)₂NH < CH₃NH₂
B
CH₃NH₂ < (CH₃)₂NH < NH₃ < C₆H₅NH₂
C
C₆H₅NH₂ < NH₃ < CH₃NH₂ < (CH₃)₂NH
D
(CH₃)₂NH < CH₃NH₂ < NH₃ < C₆H₅NH₂
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Aromatic amines like C₆H₅NH₂ are less basic than aliphatic amines due to resonance stabilization of the lone pair on nitrogen.
