The correct order of the basic strength of methyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
(CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N{(C{H_3})_2}NH\, > \,C{H_3}N{H_2}\, > \,{(C{H_3})_3}N
Option A ((CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N{(C{H_3})_2}NH\, > \,C{H_3}N{H_2}\, > \,{(C{H_3})_3}N) is correct because in aqueous solution, the basic strength is influenced by both the +I effect of methyl groups and solvation effects. Secondary amines are generally more basic than primary amines due to better solvation, while tertiary amines are less basic due to steric hindrance and reduced solvation.
