  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 6 years, 10 months ago

The basicity of amines depends on the +I effect of the alkyl groups. With increase in alkyl group the +I effect will
increase which will increase the ease of donation of lone pair electron. Amine will accept a proton and from cation will be
stabilized in water by salvation (by hydrogen bonding).better the salvation by hydrogen bonding higher will be the basic
strength.
Hence, alkyl amine is more basic than ammonia 
CH3NH2 > NH3
