Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of amine is formed when ammonia reacts with an alkyl halide? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that ammonia (NH3) is a compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen.
  • Step 2: Know that an alkyl halide is a compound that contains an alkyl group (a carbon chain) and a halogen (like chlorine, bromine, or iodine).
  • Step 3: When ammonia reacts with an alkyl halide, a chemical reaction occurs.
  • Step 4: This reaction replaces the halogen in the alkyl halide with an amine group (NH2).
  • Step 5: The result of this reaction is a primary amine, which has one alkyl group attached to the nitrogen atom.
