(C) \(C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}\)
(D) \((CH_{3})_{3}N\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Basicity in aqueous phase is determined by inductive effect (+I), resonance effect, solvation of the conjugate acid, and steric hindrance. • \(C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}\) (C): Lone pair on N is delocalized by resonance with the benzene ring, making it the least basic. •…
