The basicity of aniline is weaker in comparison to that of methyl amine due to

  1. A hyperconjugative effect of Me-group in \(\mathrm{MeNH}_{2}\)
  2. B resonance effect of phenyl group in aniline
  3. C lower molecular weight of methyl amine as compared to that of aniline
  4. D resonance effect of \(-\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) group in \(\mathrm{MeNH}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) resonance effect of phenyl group in aniline

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The lone pair of electrons, present in N-atom in aniline involve in ring resonance. So it is less basic than methyl amine.
