Explanation:
Amines are basic in nature due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom.
→ Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia due to +I effect of alkyl groups present in amines.
→ Aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia due to -I effect of aryl group.
→ Besides inductive effect, there ate other effects like steric effect, solvation effect, resonance effect which effect the basic strength of amines.
\boxed{\sf{\purple{Basicity\propto\dfrac{+I\:effect}{-I\:effect}}}}
Basicity∝
−Ieffect
+Ieffect
Aniline < Methylamine < Dimethylamine < Trimethylamine ✴
