NEET Chemistry Basicity MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the basicity of amines is correct?
Basicity of amines increases with the stability of the cation formed upon protonation.
Only the inductive effect influences the basicity of amines.
Tertiary amines are always more basic than primary amines.
Amines with greater steric hindrance are more basic than those with less steric hindrance.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The basicity of amines is related to the stability of the cation formed upon accepting a proton, as stated in the NCERT context. Other factors like inductive effects and steric hindrance also influence basicity, but the stability of the cation is the primary determinant.
