"Arrange the following in decreasing order of basic strength:
(A)\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2\)
(B) \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N(CH}_3\text{)}_2\)
(C) \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{)}_2\text{NH}\)
(D) \(\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:"

  1. A (C), (B), (D), (A)
  2. B (C), (D), (B), (A)
  3. C (C), (D), (A), (B)
  4. D (C), (A), (B), (D)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (C), (D), (B), (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Compare basicity: Aliphatic amines (\(C, D\)) > Aromatic amines (\(A, B\)). For aliphatic amines: \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{)}_2\text{NH}\) (C) > \(\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2\) (D) due to greater +I effect and optimal solvation. For aromatic amines:…
