Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
A secondary amine is
a compound with an NH2 group on the carbon atom in number 2 position
an organic compound with two NH2 group
a compound in which two of the hydrogen of NH3 have been replaced by organic groups
a compound with two carbon atom with an NH2 group
a compound in which two of the hydrogen of NH3 have been replaced by organic groups
Solution
A secondary amine is a compound in which two of the hydrogens of NH3 have been replaced by organic groups.
In a secondary amine, two of the three hydrogen atoms of ammonia (NH3) are substituted by organic groups, resulting in a structure where two carbon atoms are directly bonded to the nitrogen atom, along with one remaining hydrogen. The general formula for a secondary amine is R2NH, where R represents an organic group or hydrogen. Secondary amines are characterized by the presence of an amino group (NH2) attached to a carbon atom, which is further attached to two other carbon atoms or organic groups.
