amine: Organic compounds or the functional group that contains a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.
What are the 5 functional groups?
Hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino and phosphate groups.
What group does amine belong to?
Inorganic derivatives of ammonia are also called amines, such as monochloramine (NClH2). The substituent -NH2 is called an amino group. Compounds with a nitrogen atom attached to a carbonyl group, thus having the structure R–CO–NR′R″, are called amides and have different chemical properties from amines.
