Ans: Due to the presence of lone pair electrons on the nitrogen atom of amine, it has the ability to donate a pair of electrons to form a base. The basicity of amines depends upon following factors, stectric factors, Electronic factor and solvent factor,
In the gaseous state, the order of basicity of amine, when R=Me, 30 > 20 > 10.
In the aqueous solution the order of basicity of amine, when R= Me, 20 > 10 > 30
In the aqueous solution the order of basicity of amine, when R= Et, 20 > 30 > 10
