MHT CET · Chemistry · Amines
Which of the following is the weakest base?
- A Ethyl amine
- B Ammonia
- C Dimethyl amine
- D Methyl amine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Ammonia
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkyl group (an electron releasing \((+I)\) group) increases electron density at N-atom, hence, basic nature is increased.
In ammonia, no alkyl group is present, so it is least basic.
In ammonia, no alkyl group is present, so it is least basic.
