Question

Which statement is not correct

• A. Amines form hydrogen bond
• B. Ethyl amine has higher boiling point than propane
• C. Methyl amine is more basic than ammonia
• D. Dimethyl amine is less basic than methyl amine

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Dimethyl amine is less basic than methyl amine

Answer 2

and $CH_{3} \rightarrow \overset{\cdot \cdot}{NH_{2}}$.

In methyl amine only one electron releasing group is present but in dimethyl amine two electron releasing groups are present which increase the basicity higher in dienethyl amine.
