Interpretation:
The structural formulas for eight constitutionally isomeric
Concept introduction:
The molecular formula tells the number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Each carbon atom forms four bonds while each hydrogen atom forms one bond.
The amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary amines on the basis of the number of alkyl groups and hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen.
A primary amine is one in which the nitrogen atom is attached to one alkyl group and two hydrogen atoms.
In secondary amines, the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom. The two alkyl groups may be the same or different.
A tertiary amine is one in which the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups and no hydrogen atoms. The three alkyl groups may be the same or different.

- What is the meaning of the term tertiary (3) when it is used to classify amines? Draw a structural formula for the one tertiary (3) amine known as Hnigs base (N,N-diisopropylethylamine).arrow_forwardWrite structural formulas for all the amines of molecular formula C4H11N. Give an acceptable name for each one, and classify it as a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine.arrow_forwardBecause amines are basic, they can often accept a proton. Draw the protonated structure of n-propylamine.arrow_forward
