(i) $C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2}$
(ii) $CH_{3}NH_{2}$
(iii) $(CH_{3})_{2}NH$
(iv) $(CH_{3})_{3}N$

• A. $(i) < \,(iv) <\, (ii) <\, (iii)$
• B. $(iv) <\, (ii) <\, (iii) <\, (i)$
• C. $(i) <\, (ii) <\, (iii) <\, (iv)$
• D. $(ii) <\, (iii) <\, (iv) <\, (i)$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$(CH_{3})_{3}N <\, CH_{3}NH_{2}<\,(CH_{3})_{2}NH<\,C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2}$
