Why does aniline have a higher pKb value compared to ammonia?
Why does aniline have a higher pKb value compared to ammonia?
Options
- AAniline has a stronger inductive effect.
- BAniline has a resonance-stabilised structure.
- CAniline has a larger molar mass.
- DAniline has a higher electronegativity.
Correct answer
B. Aniline has a resonance-stabilised structure.
Step-by-step solution
Aniline has a resonance-stabilized structure with multiple resonating forms, making it more stable and less basic compared to ammonia.
