Question

Statement-1 : Amines are basic in nature.
Statement-2 : Presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen
atom.

Answer 1

Amines are basic in nature. The reason, presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom is correct.

• Amines are the derivatives of Ammonia.
• Amines are formed by the replacement on one or more hydrogen atoms by groups like aryl and alkyl in Amonia.
• One of the main reason for the Amines to be basic in nature is, the presence of lone pair of electron that can be donated.

Answer 2

Both the statements are correct and statement 2 correctly explains statement 1.

Explanation:

• Animes are the Lewis bases.

• Lewis bases are different from arrhenius bases where they show their basicity by capability to donate electrons.

• In amines, there is a lone pair of electron present on the nitrogen.

• This lone pair can be donated on a Lewis acid which can form the acid base reaction and form salt.

• They can also react with the normal acids accepting the protons forming RNH3+.

• Thus, both the statements are correct and the statement 2 explains statement 1.
