Detailed explanation-1: -The amine group is located by the position number. Groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom are located using “N” as the position number. More complex primary amines are named with-NH2 as the amino substituent.
Detailed explanation-2: -The substituent −NH 2 is called an amino group.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids are bifunctional organic compounds, hence it contains both carboxylic group (−COOH) as well as amino group (−NH2)
