  Lone pair of electrons
• Why are amines stronger bases than ammonia?

  Alkyl groups increase electron density
• The mechanism of base properties in amines involves the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom
• The reaction between an amine and an acid results in the formation of an ammonium salt
• The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in amines is responsible for their basic properties.


  True
• Amines with more electron-donating substituents are stronger bases.


  True
• The type and number of substituent groups affect the electron density on the nitrogen atom in amines.


  True
• Why do amines have higher electron density on the nitrogen atom compared to ammonia?

  Alkyl groups
• Amines possess a nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons, which gives them basic properties
• Amines are stronger bases than ammonia due to the electron-donating effect of alkyl groups.

  True
• The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in amines is responsible for their basic properties.

  True
• Alkyl groups enhance electron density on the nitrogen, making amines stronger proton acceptors
• Primary amines are moderately basic
• Secondary amines are more basic than primary amines
• Ethylamine reacts with hydrochloric acid to form ethylammonium chloride
• Amines are stronger bases than ammonia because alkyl groups increase electron density on the nitrogen atom.


  True
• When an amine reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), it forms an ammonium
