Hello aspirant

The basicity of an amine in aqueous solution depends upon the stability of the ammonium cation which further depends on a combination of three factors i.e steric hindernace of alkyl groups,+inductive effect of alkyl group and extent of hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

Therefore the order slightly differs in aqueous phase.(2>1>3>nh3)

Hope this helps
