CH_3 CONH_2is a weaker base than CH_3 CH_2 NH_2. |
Answer» Solution :`CH_3 - overset(O ) overset(||)C-`group in `CH_3 CONH_2`, withdraws electron pair on the NITROGEN through resonance.  As a result, electron density on the N-atom in ACETAMIDE decreases. On the other hand, in ETHYLAMINE, DUE to +I effect of the ethyl group, electron density on the N-atom increases. CONSEQUENTLY, `CH_3 CONH_2` is a weaker base than `CH_3 CH_2 NH_2`. |
