Questions

The order of basicity for primary, secondary and tertiary amines are:

Secondary > Primary > Tertiary > NH3

* Amines are basic in nature as they have lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Therefore, they have a strong tendency to donate this lone pair of electrons to electron acceptors.

* The stability of conjugate acids formed is dependent on the extent of H-bonding,and greater the number of H-atoms on N more stable is the conjugate acid.

* The conjugate acid of primary amine is the most stable with greater number (3) of H-bonds than > Secondary > tertiary. But primary amines are less basic than secondary as the electron density on the N atom is less and lone pair of electrons are not readily available for protonation.

* The two opposing factors i.e. the stability of conjugate acids formed and ease of availability of electrons for Protonation, balance each other in case of secondary amines and it is most basic.

ACID means (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee validity even in the event of errors, power failures, etc.

In the context of databases, a sequence of database operations that satisfies the ACID properties and, thus, can be perceived as single logical operation on the data, is called a transaction. For example, a transfer of funds from one bank account to another, even involving multiple changes such as debiting one account and crediting another, is a single transaction.

Telecom Secretary J S Deepak was on Wednesday named India’s next Ambassador to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) from June this year. A 1982 batch IAS officer from Uttar Pradesh, Deepak, who is at present attending the World Mobile Congress at Barcelona, has been shifted with “immediate effect” from the telecom ministry and has been made Officer on Special Duty in the commerce department.
