What is an amine?
Derivative of ammonia where one or more hydrogens are replaced by alkyl groups.
How are amines classified?
Primary, secondary, or tertiary, depending on the number of alkyl groups attached to nitrogen.
How is amine classification different from alcohols/haloalkanes?
Classification is based on groups attached to nitrogen, not the carbon chain.
Why do primary and secondary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines?
They can hydrogen bond with each other.
Why are short‑chain amines soluble in water?
They hydrogen bond with water.
Are amines weak acids or weak bases?
Weak bases
Why are amines basic?
The nitrogen lone pair accepts a proton.
What happens when an amine reacts with an acid?
Neutralisation to form an alkylammonium salt.
