The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is

  • Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone pair electrons are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring pi-electron system

  • Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because of aryl group

  • Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hydridized.

  • Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hydridized.


D.

Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hydridized.

In the aryl amines, due to the delocalization of lone pair of electrons of N-atom to the benzene ring, it loses its basicity and becomes less basic than alkyl amine.
on the other hand, alkyl amines have +I alkyl effect of the alkyl group which increase electron density on N -atom. Hence the availability of free electron on amine as well as +I effects enhances its basic nature.
