Step-by-step solution
The structure of isopropyl amine is (CH_3)_2CH-NH_2. In amines, the degree of the amine is determined by the number of alkyl or aryl groups directly attached to the nitrogen atom. Since the nitrogen atom in isopropyl amine is attached to only one carbon atom (the isopropyl group), it is classified as a primary amine. Answer: primary amine
