How do you distinguish the basicity levels for amines? Like what makes an amine a weaker/stronger base? And why? (The more the lone electron pair of N is involved in conjugation, the less basic it is. Also, sp2-hybridized nitrogen is less basic than sp3-hybridized nitrogen, because the lone pair has lower energy and, therefore, less reactive. - GS).
