In the following compounds, the decreasing order of basic strength will be

  1. A \(C_2H_5NH_2 > NH_3 > (C_2H_5)_2\, NH\)
  2. B \(NH_3 > C_2H_5 NH_2 > (C_2H_5)_2\, NH\)
  3. C \((C_2H_ 5)_2 NH > C_2H_5NH_2 > NH_3\)
  4. D \((C_2H_ 5)_2 NH > NH_3 >C_2H_5 NH_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((C_2H_ 5)_2 NH > C_2H_5NH_2 > NH_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Basic strength order \((CH_3CH_2)_2NH > CH_3CH_2NH_2 > NH_3\) More the number of \(+I\) groups, higher is the basic strength.
