Comparision of Basic nature in aliphatic amines in aqueous phase. -

The basic strength of an amine in aqueous medium is determined not only on the basic of +I effect of the alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom but also the solvation of alkyl ammonium ion formed by uptake of proton.

Both the  +I  effect and solvation of amine make basic order of amine in aqueous medium as

\mathrm{2\degree>1\degree>3\degree>NH_{3}}

\mathrm{\left ( When \; R=CH_3 \right )}

The order of basic strength of amines is 

\mathrm{NH_{_{3}}< CH_{3}NH_{2}< \left ( CH \right )_{2}NH}

Correct option is 3
