Chemistry Question on Amines
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion: (CH3)2NH is less basic than (CH3)3N in aqueous solution.
Reason : Hyperconjugation in (CH3)2NH is more than that in (CH3)3N.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
If both assertion and reason are false
Solution
Answer (d) If both assertion and reason are false
Assertion: (CH3)2NH is less basic than (CH3)3N in aqueous solution. (Not correct)
Reason : Hyperconjugation in (CH3)2NH is more than that in (CH3)3N. (Not True and also not the correct reason)
