Which functional group is a base?
A
Amine
B
Carboxyl
C
Methyl
D
Sulfhydryl
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An amine is generally a functional group with a nitrogen atom having a lone pair. Amines resemble ammonia structurally where nitrogen can bond up to 3 hydrogen atoms. It is also characterized by various properties that are based on carbon connectivity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amines are a basic functional group. Amines and carboxylic acids can combine in a condensation reaction to form amides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amines as Bases Primary amines are connected to one carbon and two hydrogen atoms, whereas secondary amines are connected to two carbons and one hydrogen and tertiary amines are connected to three carbon groups. Amines can act as bases in either the Bronsted Lowry definition or the Lewis definition.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Nitrogen. Amines: An amine is a functional group with a nitrogen atom having a lone pair. Basically, Amines are derived from ammonia (NH3).

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Organic molecules with NH2 N H 2 are neither acids nor bases. In cases of alcohols, OH functional group is present.
