Since aniline N has a lone pair of electrons to dislocate in aromatic system (PI), it has less donating stability then ammonia.

Why ammonia is stronger base than aniline?

The lone pair on the nitrogen of aniline is delocalised into the pi-system of the benzene ring and is therefore less available for attack on a proton.


Why para nitro aniline is less basic from aniline?

Because the electron withdrawing resonance efect caused by the nitro group on the structure, it makes the electrons pair on the nitrogen less available, if the electron pair is less available it's less basic


Why Aniline is more stable then Ammonia?

Because the lone pair of electron of nitrogen in case of Aniline becomes involve in resonance process of aromatic ring and is less available for the attack of an acid.


Which is more basic cyclohexyl aniline or aniline?

Strength of bases is related to the ease of accepting a proton which inturn depends on the availability of electron pair on the nitrogen atom (or some other basic atom). More is the availability of electron pair, more easily the proton will be accepted and more will be the basic strength.Aniline is a weaker base than ammonia or cyclohexylamine. It is because of the fact that the electron pair on nitrogen is involved in delocalization, making it less available for donation.

benzyl amine is the most basic


Why the litmus aniline is neutral?

Actually aniline is basic but towards litmus it changes it colour from red to blue aniline doesn't react the litmus so it is neutral

Why is o-aniline phenol less soluble in water than m-aniline phenol?

In o-aniline phenol Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs which is not possible in meta and is responsible for less solubility


Why benzyl amine is more basic than n-ethyl aniline?

Because in Benzylamine : the unshared lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom isavailable >.. But in n-ethyl aniline: the unshared lone pair of electron is not available and enter resonance with benzene ring .(Villa)
