Elements combine to form chemical compounds in order to be stable. The Octet Rule says that atoms form compounds to reach eight electrons in their outer shell. Some elements cannot occur naturally as it is because it needs something to satisfy the octet rule so they exist as compounds. Hope this helps.

Verizon [17]

The conjugate acid of ch3nh2 is ch3nh3+.
For example methylamine in water chemical reaction:
CH₃NH₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) ⇌ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺). Methylamine (CH₃NH₂) is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid (CH₃NH₃⁺).
