Dr. Sereda, amines with alkyl substituents increase in basicity up until the 3 substituent, why is that? (Due to better delocalization of the positive charge by substituents in the more substituted protonated form (ammonium). However, it works only for the gas phase. In solution, solvation kicks in, and things become more complicated. - GS).
