NEET Chemistry Basicity MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the basicity of amines is correct?
The basicity of an amine increases with the stability of its corresponding cation.
All amines have the same basicity regardless of their structure.
Primary amines are always less basic than tertiary amines.
The presence of electron-withdrawing groups always increases the basicity of amines.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The basicity of amines is related to the stability of the cation formed upon protonation; a more stable cation indicates a more basic amine. This is supported by the statement regarding the relationship between structure and basicity in the NCERT context.
