11.

Aromatic amines are weaker bases than aliphatic amines. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The basic character of AMINES is due to presence of a LONE pair of electrons on N-atom. Aromatic amines have RESONANCE structure and lone pair of electrons becomes less AVAILABLE for co-ordination. No such resonance exists in aliphatic amines and lone pair is easily available. Hence aromatic amines are weaker bases than aliphatic amines.
12.

Account for the following Aromatic amines are weaker bases than aliphatic amines.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Because aryl group is electron withdrawing which decreases electron DENSITY onnitrogen, MAKING them less BASIC whereas alkyl group is electron releasing which makes alkyl amines more basic.
13.
