The correct Answer is:
To determine the basicity of the compounds \( CH_3CH_2NH_2 \) (ethylamine), \( CH_3CONH_2 \) (acetamide), and \( C_6H_5CONH_2 \) (benzamide), we need to analyze the structure and electronic effects in each compound. ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds - **Compound I**: Ethylamine \( (CH_3CH_2NH_2) \) - **Compound II**: Acetamide \( (CH_3CONH_2) \) - **Compound III**: Benzamide \( (C_6H_5CONH_2) \) ### Step 2: Analyze Basicity Basicity in amines and amides is primarily determined by the availability of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. 1. **Ethylamine \( (CH_3CH_2NH_2) \)**: - The nitrogen atom has a lone pair that is localized and readily available for protonation. - Alkyl groups are electron-donating, which increases the electron density on nitrogen, enhancing its basicity. 2. **Acetamide \( (CH_3CONH_2) \)**: - The lone pair on nitrogen can participate in resonance with the carbonyl group \( (C=O) \). - This resonance delocalizes the lone pair, making it less available for protonation compared to ethylamine. Thus, it is less basic than ethylamine. 3. **Benzamide \( (C_6H_5CONH_2) \)**: - Similar to acetamide, the lone pair on nitrogen is also delocalized due to resonance with the carbonyl group. - Additionally, the benzene ring can further delocalize the lone pair, reducing its availability even more than in acetamide. Therefore, benzamide is the least basic among the three. ### Step 3: Order of Basicity Based on the analysis: - **Most Basic**: Ethylamine \( (CH_3CH_2NH_2) \) - **Moderately Basic**: Acetamide \( (CH_3CONH_2) \) - **Least Basic**: Benzamide \( (C_6H_5CONH_2) \) Thus, the order of basicity is: \[ CH_3CH_2NH_2 > CH_3CONH_2 > C_6H_5CONH_2 \] ### Final Answer The basicity follows the order: \[ CH_3CH_2NH_2 > CH_3CONH_2 > C_6H_5CONH_2 \] ---
