Amine Reactions definitions
1/10
  • Amine
    Organic compounds derived from ammonia, acting as weak bases in reactions.
  • Acid-Base Reaction
    A process where an acid donates a proton to a base, forming a conjugate acid.
  • Proton
    A positively charged subatomic particle, symbolized as H+, involved in acid-base reactions.
  • Ammonium Ion
    A positively charged ion formed when an amine accepts a proton, resulting in four nitrogen bonds.
  • Methylamine
    A simple amine that reacts with acids to form methylammonium ions.
  • Hydrochloric Acid
    A strong acid that donates a proton to bases like amines in reactions.
  • Methylammonium Ion
    The product formed when methylamine accepts a proton, carrying a positive charge.
  • Brønsted-Lowry Definition
    A theory describing acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors.
  • Conjugate Acid
    The species formed when a base gains a proton during an acid-base reaction.
  • Nitrogen
    An element in amines that forms four bonds when converted to an ammonium ion.
