Question
Which one of the following is the weakest base?
✓
Answer
The $+I$ effect increases with increase in the alkyl group.
Therefore the basic strength will be the highest in $\ce{(C_2H_5)_3N}$ and least in $\ce{NH_3}$.
Therefore the decreasing order of basic strength in gas phase will be $\ce{(C_2H_5)_3N > (C_2H_5)_2NH > C_2H_5NH_2 > NH_3}$.
