NEET Chemistry Chemical Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines of similar molecular mass.
Reason (R): Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is more significant in primary amines due to the presence of two hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen atom.
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
