Expert Solution
Step 1

We can classify amines as primary, secondary and tertiary based on the number of carbon atom attached to the nitrogen atom. Primary amines have one carbon attached to the nitrogen. Secondary amines have two carbons attached to the nitrogen, and tertiary amines have three carbons attached to the nitrogen.
