Answer:
CH3NH2 is more basic than CH3CN
Explanation:
In CH3NH2 the hybridisation of N is sp³ while in CH3CN it is sp.
Which makes N more electronegative in CH3CN and thus a weaker Lewis base than CH3NH2.

CH₃NH₂ is more basic than CH₃CN because of the high negativity of sp hybridized carbon in the latter.
- A lewis base is a compound that can act as an electron donor.
- In CH₃NH₂, the nitrogen atom is attached to an sp³ hybridized carbon atom.
- In CH₃CN, the nitrogen atom is attached to an sp hybridized carbon atom.
- The electronegativity of carbon increases as its s character increases. Thus sp hybridized carbon is more electronegative than sp³ hybridized carbon.
- Due to being attached to a more electronegative atom, the lone pair of electrons on N in CH₃CN is less available for donation.
- Hence, CH₃CN is less basic than CH₃NH₂.
