Solution

The correct option is A resonance effect of phenyl group in aniline
The lone pair of electrons, present in N-atom in aniline involve in ring resonance. So it is less basic than methyl amine.

Q. Assertion :p-Anisidine is weaker base than aniline. Reason:

p K b

of aniline is more than that of methylamine. Reason: In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on the

N

atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. As a result, the electron density of nitrogen decreases. In contrast, in

{C H}_{3} {N H}_{2} (+ I)

{C H}_{3}

increases the electron density on the

N

atom. Therefore, aniline is a weaker base than methylamine and hence its

p K_{b}

value is higher than that of methylamine.
