Intermolecular association through hydrogen bonding is greatest in which amines?
APrevented amines
BPrimary amines
CPrepared amines
DPreserved amines
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Primary amines
1. The number of nitrogen-bound hydrogens decides the extent of association.
2. Primary amines have two such hydrogens and secondary have one.
3. This intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines.
4. So primary amines associate most.
