NEET Chemistry Basicity MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing the solvation of an amine cation in water. How does the solvation effect influence the basicity of the amine?
Increases basicity by stabilizing the amine cation.
Decreases basicity by destabilizing the amine cation.
Has no effect on the basicity of the amine.
Increases basicity by destabilizing the amine anion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Solvation effect increases basicity by stabilizing the amine cation through solvation, as more stable cations enhance the basic character of amines.
