The reaction of amines with mineral acids to form ammonium salt shows that these are basic in nature. Amines have an unshared pair of electron on nitrogen atom due to which they behave as lewis base. Basicity of amines is related to their structure. Basic character of an amine depends upon the ease of formation of cation by accepting a proton from the acid. The more stable the cation is relative to the amine, more basic is the amine.
