For given pair of compounds, identify which compound is the stronger base, and explain your choice: B Bis the stronger base because the nitrogen atom has a localized lone pair. A is the stronger base because the nitrogen atom has a localized lone pair. A is the stronger base because the nitrogen atom has a delocalized lone pair. Bis the stronger base because the nitrogen atom has a delocalized lone pair. Neither base is stronger because they are both tertiary amines.
