What is the primary product when ammonia reacts with an alkyl halide?
  • 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 a carbon chain and a halogen (like chlorine, bromine, or iodine).
  • Step 3: When ammonia reacts with an alkyl halide, the halogen atom is replaced by an amine group (which is derived from ammonia).
  • Step 4: The result of this reaction is a new compound called an amine, which has one or more carbon chains attached to the nitrogen atom.
