Amines

Amine

An amine is an organic compound that can be considered to be a derivative of ammonia (NH3). The general structure of an amine can be abbreviated as R−NH2, where R is a carbon chain. However, similar to alcohols, amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary

an_____ is a derivative of ammonia

amine

why do amines frequently have foul or unpleasant odors

amines are formed during the chemical breakdown of proteins after an animal dies

amines are derivatives of what compound

ammonia

an amine is an organic compound that can be considered to be a derivative of _____

ammonia

what is the simples amine and has a very distinctive odor

ammonia

an amine contains four carbon atoms in a straight chain, followed by the -NH2 functional group. the name of the amine is

butyl amine

how do amines typically get named?

methylamine and ehtylamines are _____ at room teomp

gas

larger amines are _____ at room temp

liquid

how many hydrogens and carbons are bonded to the nitrogen of a secondary amine

amines have___ odors

pungent or noxious

what is the odor of most amines

pungent, noxious

a certain amine consists of a nitrogen atom that is covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom and to two carbon atoms. this is an example of _____ amine

secondary

smaller amines are _____while larger ones are _____

soluble, less soluble

how many covalent bonds does a nitrogen atom typically make

three

how many hydrogens and carbons are bonded to the nitrogen of a teritary amine

three carbons and no hydrogen

t/f amines have a lower boiling point than alcohol

true

how many carbon groups are attached to the nitrogen of a secondary amine?

two

how many hydrogens and carbons are bonded to the nitrogen of a primary amine

two hydrogens and one carbon

amines are weak/strong base/acid

weak bases

properties of amines

weak due to lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom lone pair can attract hydrogen atom from a water molecule causing the bond between it and the oxygen to break H H I I R-N:+H-O-H-><-R-N-H+OH- I I H H
