Answer / chennakesavaraok
Ethyl amine is more basic. In acetamide the loan pair of
electrons in nitrogen or conjugation with C=O group hence
it is not available. In ethylamine the lone pair on nitrgen
is available and it can act as a base.

Answer / sardar ali
In acetamide , CH3CO-NH2 , the nitrogen atom is directly linked with an electron withdrawing carbonyl group causing the electron density to be decreased on the nitrogen atom.
Furthermore, the lone pair on the nitrogen atom is involved in delocalization (again reducing the e- density over N).Consider the resonance structure of acetamide.On the other hand the 'N' in ethylamine , CH3CH2-NH2 is bound to an electron releasing group (ethyl) and there is no delocalization of lone pair on the 'N'.Hence the e- density over the ethylamine 'N' is relatively high and available for a proton.So ethylamine is much stronger base than acetamide.

Answer / raj nandani
Ethylamine is much stranger base then acetamide. This is because the plus I effect of ethyl group of ethylamine increase the electron density on nitrogen which is gets easily protonated. On the other hand , the electron pait on nitrogen of acetamide gets de localised due to resonance.

Answer / surinder kumar
Ethylamine is more basic than aCETAMIDE AS THE LONE PAIR OF ELECTRON OF-NH2 GROUP OF aCETAMIDE IS IN CONJUGATION WITH cARBONYL GROUP OF >C=O SO THAT NOT EASILY AVAILABLE FOR DONATION.
