Question

A chemical compound that contains the –NH2 functional group is a(n) _____.

Answer 1

This represents a primary amine. An amine has a nitrogen group that is connected to three substituents via single bonds. The number of carbon-based substitutents determines whether it is primary, secondary, or tertiary. In this case, since 2 substitutents are just hydrogen atoms, and only one has a carbon-based skeleton, this is a primary amine.
