Why is compound I a stronger base than compound II? N. H:: N. II Because compound I is more stable than compound II. Because compound II is more sterically hindered. Because the lone pair on compound I is part of a delocalized pi-system. Because the lone pair on compound II is part of a delocalized pi-system.
