Amines are derivatives of ammonia and are classified as `1^(@), 2^(@)`, and `3^(@)`, Primary and secondary (but not teritiary amines) form intermolecular hydrogen bonds and thus they boil at highter temperatures than expected. Like ammonia, all amines are basic, although they differ in their basic nature. As amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia, quaternary ammonium salts are considered as derivatives of ammonium salts. Only the quaternary ammonium salts can shown optical activity. When nitrogen is bounded to three different groupsA. The molecule is optically inactiveB. The molecule is tetrahedralC. The molecule is not superimposable on its mirror imageD. The amine boils at nearly similar b.p as the `1^(@)`, and `2^(@)` amine of comparable molecular weight. |
