Why might the interpretation of K b values based solely on +I or -I effects be inadequate?

Options

  1. A+I and -I effects do not affect basicity.
  2. BOther factors like solvation and steric effects also play a role.
  3. CK b values are not related to basicity.
  4. DAmines do not have substituents.

Correct answer

B. Other factors like solvation and steric effects also play a role.

Step-by-step solution

+I and -I effects are important but not the only factors affecting basicity. Solvation and steric effects can also influence the basic strength of amines.
