MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Tertiary amines have the lowest boiling points because,

(A)They possess polar N-C bonds
(B)They possess inter-molecular dipole-dipole attraction forces.
(C)They possess inter-molecular H-bonding
(D)They do not possess inter-molecular H- bondingCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Primary and secondary amines have N-H bonds, so their molecules associate through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which raises the boiling point. Tertiary amines have no hydrogen attached to nitrogen, so they cannot form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with each
