A
One
2
Q
Quaternary ammonium ions can be used as…eg….
A
Cationic surfactants eg in fabric conditioner
3
Q
Aliphatic amines are the strongest bases because their lps are the most available because
A
The alkyl groups attached push the electron density on to the lp
4
Q
Aromatic amines are weak bases due to their low availability of lps as the
A
Electron ring in benzene draws the electron density towards itself away from the lone pair
5

6

A
Nickel catalyst
High pressure/high temp
7
