Write shape and bond angle of tertiary amine |
|
Answer» tertiary amine contains three alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen. A quaternary amine contains four alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen. Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are sp3hybridized, have a trigonal pyramidal shape, and a bond angle of 107o. Quaternary amines are sp3hybridized, have a tetrahedral shape, and a bond angle of 109.5o. Primary and secondary amines have intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Primary and secondary amines have boiling points and melting points between ethers and alcohols. Tertiary amines have boiling points and melting points lower than primary and secondary amines with similar molecular weights. Amines have fishy smells. |
