Mark the correct statement

1. Methylamine is slightly acidic
2. Methylamine is less basic than ammonia
3. Methylamine is a stronger base than ammonia
4. Methylamine forms salts with alkalies

Correct answer: Methylamine is a stronger base than ammonia

Solution

Methylamine is a stronger base than ammonia because the electron-donating methyl group increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom, enhancing its ability to donate a lone pair of electrons.
