What type of amine is ( C ₂ H ₅)₂ NH ?

Options

  1. A1^ amines
  2. B3^ amine
  3. C2^ Unsymmetrical Amines
  4. D2^ symmetrical amines

Correct answer

D. 2^ symmetrical amines

Step-by-step solution

The given compound is ( C ₂ H ₅)₂ NH , which is diethylamine. In this molecule, the nitrogen atom is directly bonded to two alkyl groups, making it a secondary ( 2^ ) amine. Since both alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom are identical (ethyl groups), it is classified as a symmetrical amine. Therefore, ( C ₂ H ₅)₂ NH is a 2^ symmetrical amine. Answer: 2^ symmetrical amines
