Solubility decreases with increasing alkyl chain length due to reduced hydrogen bonding. CH₃NH₂ (smallest chain) is most soluble, as per the PDF’s physical properties.

Methylamine (CH₃NH₂, 1C) has two N-H bonds for hydrogen bonding relative to one carbon, giving the highest solubility per carbon, as per the PDF.
