What is the general formula for secondary amines? (2023)
Step 1: Understand that amines are compounds that contain nitrogen (N).
Step 2: Know that there are different types of amines: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Step 3: A secondary amine has two alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom.
Step 4: Represent the alkyl groups with the letter 'R'.
Step 5: Write the general formula for secondary amines as R2NH, where 'R' is the alkyl group and 'NH' indicates the nitrogen atom is bonded to one hydrogen atom.
