Question

Why amides are much weaker bases than amines ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Amides are very weak pillars relative to amines. This is because the carbonyl (C=O) group is strongly electronegative in amides, so it has a higher capacity to attract electrons towards it, leaving a proton less visible to the lone pair of amide nitrogen
