NEET Chemistry Chemical Reactions MCQ Question
Imagine a diagram showing the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary amines. Which of the following explains why primary amines have higher boiling points compared to tertiary amines?
Primary amines form more hydrogen bonds due to two hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen.
Tertiary amines have stronger van der Waals forces than primary amines.
Primary amines have a larger molecular size than tertiary amines.
The nitrogen atom in tertiary amines has a higher electronegativity than in primary amines.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Primary amines can form more hydrogen bonds due to the presence of two hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen, leading to higher boiling points.
