An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group
b
arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridised
c
arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring π-electron system
d
arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring π -electron system.
answer is C.
