Why do primary amines have higher b.p. than tertiary amine ? |
|
Answer» In primary amine, two hydrogen atoms are attached with nitrogen. Nitrogen is more electronegative element. So, there is formation of inter molecular hydrogen bonding. But in tertiary amine, due to absence of hydrogen, no hydrogen and formation takes place. This is the reason that primary amine has higher b.p. |
