Pregunta	Respuesta
What are amines?	Has a functional group of -NH2 and is called 'amino' group
Odour	Distinctive and unpleasant odours like rotting fish.
Classification	Can be classified as primary, secondary or tertiary, according to the number of carbon atoms directly bonded to the nitrogen atom.
Classification	A primary amine, the nitrogen is directly attached to one carbon General formula: R-NH2

Secondary Amine	The nitrogen atom is attached to two carbon atoms. General formula: R2-NH

Tertiary amine	The nitrogen is attached to three carbon atoms General formula: R3-N
Example of Tertiary amine	Image: photo-14.JPG (image/JPG)
Naming amines	named by using the name of the alkyl group attached to the N, followed by the word amine.
Properties	Amino functional group is polar. This allows the functional group the ability to form hydrogen bonds with the other polar ends.
Solubility	The possible hydrogen bonding of amines with water is possible. The first six amines are soluble in water in all proportions (due to the ability for hydrogen bonding) As the length of the carbon chain increases, water solubility decreases.
