Explain the following:
The amino group in ethylamine is basic whereas that in acetamide is not basic.

Solution
In amides the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is delocalised and hence less available for protonation than in amines where no resonance is possible and thus

acetamide is a weaker base than ethylamine.
