Answer:
Basicity of amines
Amines are basic because they possess a pair of unshared electrons, which they can share with other atoms. These unshared electrons create an electron density around the nitrogen atom. The greater the electron density, the more basic the molecule.

Answer:
Basicity of Amines
The basicity of an amine is increased by electron-donating groups and decreased by electron-withdrawing groups. Aryl amines are less basic than alkyl-substituted amines because some electron density provided by the nitrogen atom is distributed throughout the aromatic ring.
