View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
\( (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{NH} > \text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2 > (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} \)
Explanation
In aqueous medium, due to inductive effect, solvation effect and steric hindrance, the basicity order of methylamines is \( 2^\circ > 1^\circ > 3^\circ \), i.e., \( (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{NH} > \text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2 > (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} \).
