Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂to be water soluble but CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃to be not needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Nitrogen has a higher electronegativity. Therefore, N can form more polar bonds with other less electronegative atoms. For example, C-N and N-H bonds are polar. Molecules that have N-H bonds are capable of forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
