BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -An amine is an organic derivative of ammonia (NH3) where one or more of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a carbon group. Amines are classified according to the number of carbon atoms bonded directly to the nitrogen atom.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary according to the number of carbons bonded directly to the nitrogen atom. Primary amines have one carbon bonded to the nitrogen. Secondary amines have two carbons bonded to the nitrogen, and tertiary amines have three carbons bonded to the nitrogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Learning Outcomes. Amines are molecules that contain carbon-nitrogen bonds. The nitrogen atom in an amine has a lone pair of electrons and three bonds to other atoms, either carbon or hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nitrogen atom in an amine has a lone pair of electrons and three bonds to other atoms, either carbon or hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -All of the amines can form hydrogen bonds with water-even the tertiary ones. Although the tertiary amines don’t have a hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen and so can’t form hydrogen bonds with themselves, they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules just using the lone pair on the nitrogen.
