Rank the following compounds in order of increasing basicity (weakest `rarr` strongest)A. `IVltIIltIltIII`B. `IVltIIIltIltII`C. `IVltIltIIIltII`D. `IIltIltIIIltIV`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Alkyl amines are more basic than aryl amines or amides due to delocalization of lone pair of N is later case or in case of amides. Electron withdrawing group line `NO_2` also result in decreased electron density over N-atom of amine group and hence, makes the aniline less basec.

Compare the basicity of the following in gaseous and in a queous state and arrange them in increasing order of basicity.

Answer» Givein compounds `CH_(3)NH_(2), (CH_(3))_(2)NH, (CH_(3))_(3)N and NH_(3)`.
In the above compounds methly substituted ammonium ion gets stabilised due to dispersal of the positive charge by the +I effect of the methyl group. Hence methyl amine are stronger bases than ammonia. Basic nature of amines increase with increase of methyl groups. This trend is followed in gaseous phase.
`(CH_(3))_(3)Ngt (CH_(3))_(2)NHgtCH_(3)NH_(2)gtNH_(3)`
In the aqueous phase the substituted ammonium cations get stabilised not only by electron releasing effect of the alkyl group but also by solvation with water molecules. Due to steric hinderance the basic strength of methyl amines in the aqueous state changed as follows
`(CH_(3))_(2)NHgt CH_(3)NH_(2)gt(CH_(3))_(3)NgtNH_(3)`
