Detailed Solution

Basicity electron α density on nitrogen atom

-C6H5 group is an -I effect group. So, it decreases the electron density on nitrogen atom and as a result decreases its basicity.

Thus, more the number of phenyl groups, lesser is the basicity of that compound.

Therefore, the order of basicity for the given compounds are

NH3>C6H5NH2>C6H52NH>C6H53N

Clearly, C6H53 N is the least basic among them.
