CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, (CH3)3N, C6H5NH2, C6H5CH2NH2

Solution
Considering the inductive effect and the steric hindrance of alkyl groups, CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, and (CH3)3N can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as:
(CH3)3N < CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH
In C6H5NH2, N is directly attached to the benzene ring. Thus, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. In C6H5CH2NH2, N is not directly attached to the benzene ring. Thus, its lone pair is not delocalized over the benzene ring. Therefore, the electrons on the N atom are more easily available for protonation in C6H5CH2NH2 than in C6H5NH2 i.e., C6H5CH2NH2 is more basic than C6H5NH2.
Again, due to the −I effect of C6H5 group, the electron density on the N-atom in C6H5CH2NH2 is lower than that on the N-atom in (CH3)3N. Therefore, (CH3)3N is more basic than C6H5CH2NH2. Thus, the given compounds can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as follows:
C6H5NH2 < C6H5CH2NH2 < (CH3)3N < CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH
