Methyl amine is stronger base than $NH_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct statement is that methyl amine is a stronger base than $NH_3$. The presence of the methyl group $(-CH_3)$ increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom due to the $+I$ (inductive) effect. This increased electron density makes the lone pair on the nitrogen atom more available for donation,thereby increasing the basic strength compared to $NH_3$.
