Identify the class of ( C ₆ H ₅ )₃ ~N ?
Options
- A3^ aliphatic simple amine
- B3^ aromatic mixed amine
- C3^ aromatic simple amine
- D3^ aliphatic mixed amine
Correct answer
C. 3^ aromatic simple amine
Step-by-step solution
- The compound ( C ₆ H ₃ )₃ ~N is triphenylamine. - It is an aromatic amine because the nitrogen atom is bonded to three phenyl groups ( C ₆ H ₅ ) , which are aromatic rings. - It is a tertiary (3^ ) amine because the nitrogen is bonded to three carbon atoms, all part of the phenyl groups, with no hydrogen atoms attached directly to the nitrogen.
