The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason related to the intermolecular association in primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, we can break down the solution into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary and tertiary amines." - To evaluate this, we need to consider the structure of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. 2. **Analyzing Primary Amines**: - A primary amine has the general structure R-NH2, where R is an alkyl or aryl group. - In primary amines, the nitrogen atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms. - Each hydrogen atom can participate in hydrogen bonding with the nitrogen of another amine molecule. 3. **Analyzing Secondary Amines**: - A secondary amine has the structure R2-NH, where R can be the same or different alkyl or aryl groups. - In secondary amines, there is only one hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen. - Thus, each secondary amine molecule can form only one hydrogen bond. 4. **Analyzing Tertiary Amines**: - A tertiary amine has the structure R3-N, where all three substituents are alkyl or aryl groups. - Tertiary amines do not have any hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen. - Therefore, tertiary amines cannot form hydrogen bonds. 5. **Comparing Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding**: - Primary amines can form two hydrogen bonds per molecule due to the two available hydrogen atoms. - Secondary amines can form only one hydrogen bond per molecule. - Tertiary amines cannot form any hydrogen bonds. - This indicates that intermolecular hydrogen bonding is strongest in primary amines, followed by secondary amines, and is absent in tertiary amines. 6. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "more number of hydrogen atoms are available in primary amines for hydrogen bonding." - This is correct because the presence of two hydrogen atoms in primary amines allows for more extensive hydrogen bonding compared to secondary and tertiary amines. 7. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true. - The reason provided correctly explains why the assertion is true. - Therefore, the correct option is that both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is Option 1: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
