Detailed Solution

It is known that, pKb=-logkb
Thus, larger the value of kb, smaller is the value of pKb and hence, stronger is the base.
The order of basic strength of amines is as follows

CH32N¨H>CH3N¨H2>CH33N¨>C6H5N¨H2

The basic strength of amines depends on the inductive effect as well as steric hindrance of alkyl groups. Hence, CH32N¨H [secondary amine] possess the smallest value of pKb.
