Q. High basicity of $Me_{2}NH$ relative to $Me_{3}N$ is attributed to
A) Effect f solvent
B) Inductive effect of Me
C) Shape of $Me_{2}NH$
D) Shape of $Me_{3}N$
Explanation
(a)
Electrons donors are bases. Greater the stabilisation of cation formed by loss of electron more will be basicity of amine.
2${^\circ}\$amine is more basic than 3${^\circ}$ amine because 2${^\circ}$ amine is stabilized by hydrogen bonding with solvent molecule.
