Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of isomerism is shown by secondary amines?
  • Step 1: Understand what secondary amines are. Secondary amines have one nitrogen atom bonded to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.
  • Step 2: Learn about isomerism. Isomerism is when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures.
  • Step 3: Identify the type of isomerism. Secondary amines can have different alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen, leading to different structures.
  • Step 4: Conclude that this type of isomerism is called structural isomerism, as the arrangement of atoms is different.
