Strength of bases is related to the ease of accepting a proton which inturn depends on the availability of electron pair on the nitrogen atom (or some other basic atom). More is the availability of electron pair, more easily the proton will be accepted and more will be the basic strength.Aniline is a weaker base than ammonia or cyclohexylamine. It is because of the fact that the electron pair on nitrogen is involved in delocalization, making it less available for donation.

Aniline is more basic due to the strong electron withdrawing effect of the carbonyl oxygen on the amide of acetanilide.

Acetanilide is not basic because the nitrogen is being taken away. This is a part of the process of new compounds forming.

N is bigger than O.So N can form bond easily from far away distance.This makes Annilinium ion more basic.Therefore its conjugate acid (anniline) is less acidic. :0

Cyclohexylamine is more basic than aniline. The lone pair on nitrogen in aniline will be involved in resonance with the phenyl ring and hence it will be less basic than cyclohexylamine.

Why cyclohexyl amine is stronger than aniline?

in the case of aniline, the lone pair on nitrogen is involved in resonance with the benzene ring, hence its basicity decreases. no such resonance is seen in cyclohexyl amine, and the lone pair is available to abstract protons and it is stronger base than aniline.


Among benzyl amine aniline acetanilide and p-nitro aniline which is the most basic compound?

benzyl amine is the most basic


Why the litmus aniline is neutral?

Actually aniline is basic but towards litmus it changes it colour from red to blue aniline doesn't react the litmus so it is neutral

Why dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?

In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom(more 's' character). In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom (less's' character than hybridized carbon atom). Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride. Therefore, the density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom is less in chlorobenzene than cyclohexyl chloride.The density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom in chlorobenzene decreases due to the -R effect of the benzene ring which is not in cyclohexyl chloride. Due to this polarity of the C-Cl bond decreases and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.


Why Aniline is less basic then ammonia?

Since aniline N has a lone pair of electrons to dislocate in aromatic system (PI), it has less donating stability then ammonia. Don


Is aniline yellow a basic dye?

Yes, it is basic in the chemical sense because it contains the amine group -NH2 which can accept a proton.


Why para nitro aniline is less basic from aniline?

Because the electron withdrawing resonance efect caused by the nitro group on the structure, it makes the electrons pair on the nitrogen less available, if the electron pair is less available it's less basic

What color will aniline turn litmus paper?

Aneline is basic,so litmus color is changed into blue


Why aniline is less basic than ammonia?

Alkyl groups are slightly electron donating.  The methyl groups on the amine in N,N dimethylaniline contribute electron density to the nitrogen lone pair, making it more likely to reach out and grab a proton (ie more basic).
