Question
Compare the boiling points of 10, 2° and 3° amInes.
✓
Answer
1. The boiling point of various amines follows the order,
2. Due to the polar nature of primary and secondary amines, can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds using their lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom. However, tertiary amines do not form intermolecular hydrogen bond and they have lower boiling point than 1° and 2° amines.
