Question

The (C6H14)2NH molecule represents a ----- amine.

Primary

Secondary

Tertiary

Answer 1

Secondary

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of this amount of hydrogens being substituted, we can classify the amines in primary (R-NH2), secondary (R1R2NH) and tertiary (R1R2R3N) amines. In the primary amines, only one of the hydrogens is replaced by an organic radical, for example, in the following CH3 - NH2 molecule, in the secondary we have the substitution of two hydrogen atoms, as in the case of CH3 - NH - CH3 and in the tertiary all are replaced.

In the molecule (C6H14) 2NH, the bold part shows the substitution of two hydrogen, so we can classify the molecule as a secondary amine.

Answer 2

Secondary .

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary amine contains only one alkyl group.

Secondary amine contains two alkyl groups.

Tertiary amine contains three alkyl groups.

• Since (C₆H₁₄)₂NH contains 2 alkyl groups.

So, it is secondary amine.
