Answer:
Ethyl amine is more basic than methyl amine .
Explanation:
Ethyl amine is an organic compound also known as ethan amine a two carbon-prime aliphatic amine. It plays a role in the human metabolism. It is a colourless gas and has a very strong ammonia like odour.
Methyl amine is an organic compound and a derivative of ammonia. It has a strong odour similar to a rotten fish. It is also highly flammable.
Ethyl amine is more basic than Methyl amine than due to the presence of an CH3CH2 which is very better electron donor. Whereas Methyl amine has CH3 which is comparatively not as good a better donor of electron.
