Amines are derivatives of ammonia and are classified as `1^(@), 2^(@)`, and `3^(@)`, Primary and secondary (but not teritiary amines) form intermolecular hydrogen bonds and thus they boil at highter temperatures than expected. Like ammonia, all amines are basic, although they differ in their basic nature. As amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia, quaternary ammonium salts are considered as derivatives of ammonium salts. Only the quaternary ammonium salts can shown optical activity. Methylethylpropyl amine is optically inactive becauseA. it is not tetrahederalB. its molecule is superimposable on its mirror imageC. The enantiomers are rapidly interconvertedD. The nitrogen is `sp^(2)` hybridized
