Question

Amines are organic compounds that contain what?

Answer 1

Amines are are organic compounds that are derivatives of ammonia, `H_3N`; i.e. they contain nitrogen with a low oxidation number/

Explanation:

A so-called primary amine is `RNH_2`; a secondary amine `R_2NH`, and a tertiary amine, `R_3N`. Because the nitrogen retains a stereochemically active lone pair, a tertiary amine can react further to give a quaternary ammonium salt, `R_4N^+`.

Volatile amines are exceptionally foul smelling; they will bring tears to your eyes.
