in gaseous state , basic character of amine is tertiary>sec.>primary amine>ammonia but there is no possible to donate electron from nitrogen in gasous phase .and 1 question more .

in aqu. solution , secondary>tertiary>primary amine>ammonia

why secondary amine is more basic in aq. sol.

and

actual basicity order of methyl and ethylamine is as under:

1- (CH3)2NH>CH3NH2>(CH3)3N>NH3

2- (CH3CH2)2NH> (CH3CH2)3N>( CH3CH2 )NH2>NH3

BUT IN THESE 2 CASES DIFFERENT IN ( -NH2 , -N ) WHY GIVE ME DETAIL WITH DIAGRAM
