Why aniline is less basic than ammonia & ethyl amine? |
|
Answer» erpreet, here is your answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is due to that resonance, the ELECTRON density on the nitrogen atom which acquires a POSITION charge. The LONE pair of electrons originally present on nitrogen - atom get delocalised on the benzene ring due these reason they are less AVAILABLE for protonation.therefore, aniline is less basic than ammonia and ethyl AMINE. |
