Amine and Derivatives Quiz

Compounds with a Nitrogen Atom Attached to a Carbonyl Group

• These compounds are known as amide.

Derivatives of Ammonia

• Compounds that can be considered as derivatives of ammonia include amines and amides.

Defining Characteristic of Amines

• Amines are characterized by the presence of a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl or aryl groups.

Substituent -NH2

• The substituent -NH2 is called amino group.

Classification of Amines

• Amines are classified based on the nature and number of substituents on the nitrogen atom:
  • Primary amines have one alkyl or aryl group.
  • Secondary amines have two alkyl or aryl groups.
  • Tertiary amines have three alkyl or aryl groups.

Example of an Amine

• An example of an amine is ethylamine, characterized by its -NH2 group connected to an ethyl group.

Formal Derivatives of Ammonia

• Amines are formally regarded as derivatives of ammonia (NH3), where hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.

Amine Types with Only H and Alkyl Substituents

• Primary amines contain only hydrogen and alkyl substituents on the nitrogen atom.
