Overview
Comparing primary aliphatic, aromatic and ammonia, and explaining the order from electron density.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.
How does the base strength of primary aromatic amines compare to ammonia?
How does the base strength of primary aromatic amines compare to primary aliphatic amines?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What type of bases are amines?
Model answer
Weak bases
- 2
How does the base strength of primary aliphatic amines compare to ammonia?
Model answer
Primary aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia
- 3
How does the base strength of primary aromatic amines compare to ammonia?
Model answer
Primary aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia
- 4
How does the base strength of primary aromatic amines compare to primary aliphatic amines?
Model answer
Primary aromatic amines are weaker bases than primary aliphatic amines
- 5
What determines the base strength of an amine?
Model answer
How readily the nitrogen atom's lone pair is available
- 6
Why are primary aliphatic amines stronger bases than ammonia?
Model answer
The alkyl group has a positive inductive effect, which pushes electron density towards the nitrogen atom, making the lone pair more available for donation to a proton
