How many secondary amines are possible with the formula c5h13n

Answer 1

Secondary Amines

Explanation:

• Possible number of secondary amines are 6.
•  There are primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary amines (3°).
• The possible structure for secondary amines are $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-NH-CH_2-CH_3$ (N-ethyl-propanamine)
• This is also referred to as 2°amine.
• Secondary amine of $C_5H_1_3N$ has 6 isomers.
• Compounds having same formula but different molecular formula are called isomers.

Which means that amine group can attached at 6 different position within the compound $C_5H_1_3N$
