Question

why nitriles are more basic than ammonia?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because alkyl groups donate electrons to the more electronegative nitrogen. The inductive effect makes the electron density on the alkylamine's nitrogen greater than the nitrogen of ammonium. Correspondingly, primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl amines are more basic than ammonia.

Answer 2

Answer:

hi here is the answer.....
