The correct order of basicity of amines in water is:

The order of basicity of amines in gaseous state is-

Greater is the stability of the substituted ammonium cation, stronger should be the corresponding amine as a base. Thus, the order of basicity of aliphatic amines should be: primary > secondary > tertiary, which is opposite to the inductive effect based order. Secondly, when the alkyl group is small, like- CH_3 group, there is no steric hindrance to H-bonding. In case the alkyl group is bigger than CH_3 group, there will be steric hinderance to H-bonding. Therefore, the change of nature of the alkyl group, e.g.,from- CH_3 to- C_2 H_5 results in change of the order of basic strength. In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Assertion (A): Greater is the stability of the substituted ammonium cation, stronger is the corresponding amine as a base. Reason (R): The order of basicity of aliphatic amines is: primary > secondary > tertiary.

The decreasing order of basicity of the following amines is :
