Basicity is inversely proportional to electronegativity. Higher the electron affinity or core charge of an atom, the less likely it is to donate its electrons to a proton. Greater the delocalization of electrons that could potentially donate to a proton, the less able they are to donate. Greater the electron-withdrawing effects in another part of a molecule, the less likely the electrons on a particular atom are to donate.
