The availability of a lone pair of electrons on a base determines its strength as it is these electrons that will "mop up" H+ ions in solution and hence increase pH towards more alkaline conditions. Therefore, phenylamine is a weaker base than ethylamine because its lone pair is less available.'

innocentSharma: thnks brao

abhiramgautam8253: Whereas, in ethyl amine there is no possibility for the resonance stabilization, so the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom are readily available for the protonation. Therefore, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in amide is weaker base.

In Ethyl amine there is no possibility for the resonance stabilization, so the long pair of electrons on nitrogen atom are readily available for the protonation.

Therefore, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in amide is weaker base.
