secondary tertiary.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
(1) Methyl amine is more soluble than propyl amine because extent of hydrogen bonding is
more in methyl amine.
(2) The lower aliphatic amines are gases with fishy odour. Hence, methyl amine is a gas with fishy odour.
(3) Due to atmospheric oxidation, aniline gets coloured on storage.
(4) The order of boiling points of isomeric amines is: primary 
secondary 
tertiary.
