Front (Question)

What are amines?

Back (Answer)

Organic compounds derived from ammonia, NH₃, in which one or more hydrogen atoms in ammonia have been replaced by a carbon chain or ring

Front (Question)

What is the formula of ammonia?

Back (Answer)

NH₃

Front (Question)

What is an aliphatic amine?

Back (Answer)

Nitrogen attached to at least one straight/branched carbon chain (alkyl group, R)

Front (Question)

What is the simplest aliphatic amine?

Back (Answer)

Methylamine, CH₃NH₂

Front (Question)

What is an aromatic amine?

Back (Answer)

Nitrogen atom attached to aromatic ring (aryl group)

Front (Question)

What is the simplest aromatic amine?

Back (Answer)

phenylamine, C₆H₅NH₂

Front (Question)

What are amines classified as?

Back (Answer)

1) primary 2) secondary 3) tertiary

Front (Question)

How are amines classified?

Back (Answer)

By the number of alkyl or aryl groups attached to the nitrogen atom

Front (Question)

What are amines well known for?

Back (Answer)

Their effects on the body

#10

Front (Question)

How do you name a primary amine, with the -NH₂ group on the end of the chain?

Back (Answer)

Add -amine to the name of the alkyl chain

#11

Front (Question)

How do you name a primary amine, with the -NH₂ group on any other carbon but carbon-1?

Back (Answer)

Use the prefix amino- and add a number before to indicate the position of the amine group along the chain

#12

Front (Question)

How do you name a secondary/tertiary amine containing the same alkyl group?

Back (Answer)

1) use the prefixes di- or tri- to indicate the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom 2) use the suffix-amine

#13

Front (Question)

When two or more different groups are attached to a nitrogen atom, what is the compound named as?

Back (Answer)

N-substituted derivative of the larger group

#14

Front (Question)

What is the name of CH₃NHCH₂CH₂CH₃?

Back (Answer)

N-methylprophlamine

Front (Question)

What is the name of CH₃N(CH₂CH₃)CH₂CH₂CH₃?

Back (Answer)

N-ethyl-N-methylpropylamine

#16

Front (Question)

Why do amines behave as bases?

Back (Answer)

The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom can accept a proton

#17

Front (Question)

When amine accepts a proton, what type of bond is formed between the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and the proton?

Back (Answer)

Dative covalent bond

#18
