Which is more cidic (or basic), aniline or ammonia? |
|
Answer» Solution :Due to delocalization of the lone pair of electrons of the N-atom of ANILINE over the benzene ring, aniline is less basic than AMMONIA. Conversely, loss of a proton from aniline gives ion (I) while than from `NH_(3)` gives ion (II).  . Since ion (I) is stabilized by RESONANCE while ion (II) is not. therefore, aniline is more acidic than ammonia. |
