NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The basic strength of alkyl amines in aqueous solution is determined by a subtle interplay of inductive effect, solvation effect, and steric hindrance. | Reason (R): The change in the alkyl group from –CH3 to –C2H5 alters the order of basic strength due to steric effects.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that the basic strength of alkyl amines in aqueous solution depends on the interplay of inductive effect, solvation effect, and steric hindrance, and changing the alkyl group can alter basic strength due to steric effects.
