Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The condensed and line structure formula of the given compound has to be drawn. It should be find out whether the compound is primary, secondary or tertiary.

Concept introduction:

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia $\left(N{H}_3\right)$ with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.

In bond Line structure,

• Only shows bonds.
• C atoms assumed at each end and intersection of bonds
• H atoms are not shown.
• Assume 4 bonds to each C
• Fulfill C’s 4 bonds by adding hydrogens.

In condensed structure representation,

• Some or all of the lines are omitted and atoms attached to carbon are written immediately after it.
