order
in aqueous solution.
Answer:
The basic
character of amines can be described by three factors :
(i) Inductive
effect - Greater the inductive effect stronger is the base.
(ii) Solvation
effect - In aqueous solution 1° amines have 2 hydrogen atoms to form hydrogen
bonds with three water molecules. In secondary amines there is only 1 hydrogen
atom and in 3° amines there is no hydrogen atom to form hydrogen bonding. In
this case order is 
(iii) Steric
reason - Greater the steric hindrance lesser is the basic character.
From all the
above facts the overall basicity is
