Q.

The correct order of basic nature in aqueous solution for the bases

NH3,H2N-NH2,CH3CH2NH2,(CH3CH2)2NH and (CH3CH2)3N is:             [2025]

1 NH3<H2N-NH2<(CH3CH2)3N<CH3CH2NH2<(CH3CH2)2NH  
2 NH3<H2N-NH2<CH3CH2NH2<(CH3CH2)2NH<(CH3CH2)3N  
3 H2N-NH2<NH3<(CH3CH2)3N<CH3CH2NH2<(CH3CH2)2NH  
4 NH2-NH2<NH3<CH3CH2NH2<(CH3CH2)3N<(CH3CH2)2NH
