NEET Chemistry Chemical Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The boiling point of primary amines is generally higher than that of tertiary amines.
Reason (R): Primary amines engage in stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding compared to tertiary amines.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Primary amines can engage in stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to the presence of hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen, which is absent in tertiary amines. This results in higher boiling points for primary amines.
