Explain the ethylamine is stronger than ammonia? |
Answer» Solution :(i) Aliphatic primary amines are more BASIC than ammonia. Ethylamine contains `C_2H_5` GROUP (alkyl group) which has + I effect. i.e., it is electron releasing in nature.  (ii) The ETHYL group tends to increase the electron density on the NITROGEN atom. Where no such group with + I effect is present in `NH_3`. So, ethylamine is more basic than ammonia. |
