Question

What is the indication of the relative base strengths of the following bases? CH₃NH₂ CHBr₂NH₂ CH₂BrNH₂ A) CH₂BrNH₂ > CHBr₂NH₂> CH₃NH₂ B)CHBr₂NH₂ > CH₂BrNH₂ > CH₃NH₂ C) CHBr₂NH₂ > CH₃NH₂ > CH₂BrNH₂ D) CH₂BrNH₂> CH₃NH₂ > CHBr₂NH₂ E) CH₃NH₂ > CH₂BrNH₂> CHBr₂NH₂

The base strength decreases with the presence of electron-withdrawing groups like Br. CH₃NH₂ has no Br atoms, making it the strongest base, followed by CH₂BrNH₂ with one Br, and CHBr₂NH₂ with two Br atoms is the weakest.
