This makes the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom less available to accept a proton, and therefore these amines are weaker bases than ammonia.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, ammonia is the strongest base in aqueous solution because it has the highest tendency to accept a proton. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons on its nitrogen atom that is not involved in bonding. This lone pair of electrons is highly electronegative, making it very attractive to protons.
