NEET Chemistry Chemical Reactions MCQ Question
A diagram represents the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary amines. Which feature of the diagram primarily contributes to the higher boiling point of primary amines compared to tertiary amines?
Presence of hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen
Absence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen
Presence of carbon-carbon double bonds
Lack of hydrogen bonding
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The presence of hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen in primary amines allows for intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which increases the boiling point compared to tertiary amines.
