Classification of amines

Explain the classification of amines

Ans..... Classification of amines: Amines are classified as primary, secondary , or tertiary based upon the number of carbon - containing groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom.

Those amine compounds that have only one group attached to the nitrogen atom are primary,  while those with two or three groups attached to the nitrogen atom are secondary and tertiary,  respectively 

In the common system we name amines by naming the group or groups attached to the nitrogen atom and adding the word amine
