Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The atoms of $\text{2-phenylethanamine}$ in the LSD are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The $\text{2-phenylethanamine}$ is a primary amine with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}$. Some of its derivatives are physiologically active compounds. The derivatives contain benzene ring attached to two carbon unit with nitrogen atom.
