how does resonance explain the basic character of aniline? emphasis on resonance.

Aniline is less basic due to lesser availability of lone pair of electrons.
1.)Due to resonance effect which delocalises the lone pair all over the benzene ring.
2.)There is also a second reason: Lesser stability of conjugate acid than aniline:
C6H5NH2 + H2O : C6H5NH3
anilinium ion is less stable than aniline,hence equilibrium shifts towards the left.

In the resonance effect of aniline,due to partial double bonded character on nitrogen their is much difference in breaking double bond and it doesn't react with any compound that's why it is less basic in nature
