Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds can be classified as a secondary amine? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what an amine is. An amine is a compound that contains a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms and/or alkyl groups.
  • Step 2: Know the types of amines. There are three types: primary amines (one alkyl group), secondary amines (two alkyl groups), and tertiary amines (three alkyl groups).
  • Step 3: Identify the structure of dimethylamine. Dimethylamine has two methyl groups (CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom.
  • Step 4: Determine the classification. Since dimethylamine has two alkyl groups (the two methyl groups) attached to the nitrogen, it is classified as a secondary amine.
