List of top Chemistry Questions on Amines asked in CBSE Compartment XII

Give plausible explanation for the following: (a) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are stable.
(b) Aniline does not undergo Friedel–Crafts reaction.
(c) Aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of meta product.

The chemical test which can be used to distinguish between ethanamine and aniline is:

Assertion (A): Acetamide (structure: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NHCOCH}_3\)) is less basic than aniline.
Reason (R): Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.

If amines are arranged in increasing order of their basic strength in gaseous phase, the correct order will be:
