Amines are organic compounds that contain what?

Answer 1

Amines are are organic compounds that are derivatives of ammonia, #H_3N#; i.e. they contain nitrogen with a low oxidation number/

A so-called primary amine is #RNH_2#; a secondary amine #R_2NH#, and a tertiary amine, #R_3N#. Because the nitrogen retains a stereochemically active lone pair, a tertiary amine can react further to give a quaternary ammonium salt, #R_4N^+#.

The smell of volatile amines is so strong that it will make you cry.
