Question

why is ethyl amine a stronger base than ammonia

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ethyl amine is C2H5NH2.

Here,the ethyl group has a strong +I effect.It increases the electron density over Nitrogen atom.

As a result,the unshared electron pair becomes more easily available for sharing.This leads to increase in basicity.And ammonia has no such +I groups, which could increase the basicity.

So,it is less basic than ethyl amine.
