Answer» ETHYL amine Diethyl amine Aniline Benzyl amine Solution :Basicity of amines is DUE to the availability of electron density on N atom for protonation. Presence of ALKYL group In alkyl amines increases the electron density on N-atom by virtue of +I effect. However, aniline is less basic as phenyl group exerts -I effect, i.e., it WITHDRAWS electron resulting i lower avaliability of electron on nitrogen for protonation.
