Which of the following best explains which compound is more basic?
$$CH_3OH$$ and $$CH_3NH_2$$
$$CH_3OH$$ is more basic due to oxygen being more electronegative than nitrogen
$$CH_3NH_2$$ is more basic due to nitrogen being less electronegative than oxygen
$$CH_3OH$$ is more basic as it results in a weaker conjugate acid
$$CH_3NH_2$$ is more basic as it results in a stronger conjugate acid
Both compounds are capable of hydrogen bonding and are of equal basicity
