(a)
Interpretation:
In aqueous solution, methylethylamine exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Amides have a carbonyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom. The carbonyl carbon atom pulls the lone pair of electrons present on the nitrogen strongly. Hence, the nitrogen atom cannot act as a proton acceptor. Amides are not basic in nature.
(b)
Interpretation:
In aqueous solution, butanamide exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Amines are a class of organic compounds. They are derivatives of ammonia. Similar to the nitrogen atom in ammonia, the amine nitrogen also has a lone pair of electrons on it. This means that amines can act as proton acceptors. When an amine is added to water a proton is transferred to the nitrogen atom. The resulting solution is a basic solution. This contains ammonium ions and hydroxide ions.
