CH3 -СН-СН 3,
NH3 classification of this amimes​

Answer 1

Answer:

You have heard of Ammonia. Haven’t you? But, it is not the only nitrogen product that is popular. There are so many other products of ammonia that are derived by altering the hydrogen atoms. We give them names like Primary amine or Secondary amine etc. In this chapter, we will look at the classification of amines in details. We will also have a brief look at the nomenclature of the classification of amines.

Amines are the organic compounds derived from ammonia (NH3). They are derived by replacing its one or more hydrogen atoms by alkyl or aryl group. For example:On the basis of the number of hydrogen atoms replaced in NH3 molecule, amines are categorized into three types:

1° or the Primary Amines

In 1° amine, one hydrogen atom of NH3 is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. For example:

CH3NH2

Methyl Amine

2° or the Secondary Amines

In 2° amine, two hydrogen atoms of NH3 are replaced by alkyl or aryl groups. For example: CH3NHCH3 or Dimethyl Amine
