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(CH_3)_2NH is less basic than (CH3)3N(CH_3)_3N in aqueous solution.

Reason : Hyperconjugation in (CH3)2NH(CH_3)_2NH is more than that in (CH3)3N(CH_3)_3N.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Answer

If both assertion and reason are false

Explanation

Solution

Answer (d) If both assertion and reason are false

Assertion: (CH3)2NH(CH_3)_2NH is less basic than (CH3)3N(CH_3)_3N in aqueous solution. (Not correct)

Reason : Hyperconjugation in (CH3)2NH(CH_3)_2NH is more than that in (CH3)3N(CH_3)_3N. (Not True and also not the correct reason)
