Concept Introduction:

>

The systematic naming of an organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature.

>

The naming of an organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound can be correctly interpreted from its name.

>

In amines, the nitrogen atom is trivalent and carries an unshared pair of electrons. The nitrogen is ${\text{sp}}^{\text{3}}$ hybridized i.e. it has four ${\text{sp}}^{\text{3}}$ hybrid orbitals.

>

In primary amine, two hybridized orbitals overlap with the s orbitals of hydrogen atoms to form two $\text{N}–\text{H}$ sigma bonds.
