Explanation:

Amines are organic compounds derived from ammonia by replacing the hydrogen atoms, one at a time with carbon-containing groups. The functional groups are R-NH₂, R₂-NH, and R₃-N

Amines are classified into primary, secondary, or tertiary according to the number of substituted hydrogen.
