The amine group (NH2) in h3nch2nh2 is more basic than the hydroxyl group (OH) in ohch2nh2 because nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen. This makes the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen more available to accept a proton, increasing its basicity. Additionally, the presence of alkyl groups in h3nch2nh2 can help stabilize the resulting ammonium ion formed after accepting a proton, further enhancing its basicity.
