why cyanide is more electronegative than amine

because the nitrogen atom is attached to the carbon atom through a triple bond which increases it's polarity. hope you have understood my explanation
rahul6516:
but here the carbon atom is sp hybridised so it has a value of electroneg around 3.29 and nitrogen has an elctroneg of about 3.0 so there is not much diffrence in their values then why still the polarity increases?
??
ans plz?
hello??

The inductive effect makes the electron density on the alkylamine's nitrogen greater than the nitrogen of ammonium.
Comparing the basicity of alkylamines to amides. With an alkyl amine the lone pair electron is localized on the nitrogen. However, the lone pair electron on an amide are delocalized between the nitrogen and the oxygen through resonance. This makes amides much less basic compared to alkylamines.
