Dr. Kamlapati Bhatt 8 years, 4 months ago

CH5 NH2 is more basic than CH3 NH2  .

Reasons  for higher basic nature of  ethyl amine  are   ,

(i) ethyl group  exhibits greater +I effect than methyl  group.

(ii)  The electron density over N atom in ethyl group increases , as compared to that of  N over methyl group.

So,  N in ethyl group is capable of donating more electrons (or electron pairs )  thereby exhibiting more basic nature of ethyl amine.
