MCQ
Which one of the following is the weakest base?
  • A
    $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_3 \mathrm{\sim N}$
  • B
    $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2$​
  • $\mathrm{NH}_3$​

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathrm{NH}_3$​
The $+I$ effect increases with increase in the alkyl group. Therefore the basic strength will be the highest in $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_3 \mathrm{\sim N}$ and least in $\mathrm{NH}_3$.
Therefore the decreasing order of basic strength in gas phase will be $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_3 \mathrm{N}>\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}>\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2>\mathrm{NH}_3$.
