Answers
Answer:
The strongest base among the given one is trimethyl amine.
Explanation:
The strongest base among the given one is trimethyl amine.
Let us discuss all the examples given and the reason why trimethylamine is a stronger base.
trimethyl amine consist of three methyl group attached to it.
Dimethyl amine has two methyl group attached to it.
Methyl amine has a single methyl group attached to it.
Ammonia doesn't have any methyl group attached to it.
We all know the fact that methyl is electron donating group that is it enriches the compound with electrons, a compound is considered as a stronger base if it can attract the metals with positive ions towards it.
Since trimethyl amine consist of three methyl group attached to it , the electron density on the nitrogen atom is higher so it can attract positive charge towards it easily while compared to other compounds given, so it is the stronges tbase.
