Q. Consider the given compounds :
(1) $CH _{3}- CH _{2}- NH _{2}$
(2) $CH _{3}- CH = NH$
(3) $CH _{3}- C \equiv N$
(4) $C _{2} H _{5}- NH - C _{2} H _{5}$
Arrange basicity of these compounds in decreasing order :

Basic strength (BS) $\propto$ EDG (electron donating $gp$)
$\propto \frac{1}{\text { EWG (electron withdrawing gp) }}$
$\propto \frac{1}{ EN }$
