Explain why MeNH2 is stronger base than MeOH?


MeNH2 is stronger base than MeOH because of the lower electronegativity and the presence of the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom in MeNH2. We know that nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen atom. Thus, nitrogen in MeNH2 can easily donate electrons unlike oxygen atom in MeOH.
