What is base? According to Lewis theory of acids and bases, a base is the one which has the availability of electrons to donate to an acid. Here, we need to find the stronger base among benzyl amine and aniline. A stronger base will be the one whose electrons are easily available for donation. Structure
Which is more basic in nature? Benzyl amine or aniline. Read More »

Amine is a type of compound that is derived from ammonia, i.e., NH3. We can simply say, that amines are derivatives of ammonia. We study about amines in Organic Chemistry, and they are basically classified as functional groups or organic nitrogen compounds that contain a nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Generally, in amines, hydrogen
