Answer:
The tertiary amines are less basic than secondary amines. The reason is that a tertiary amine, though has three alkyl groups which can donate electrons to the nitrogen atom but they also cause crowding (also called steric hinderance) around nitrogen. This hinders the protonation at nitrogen atom and hence, reduces the basicity.
