Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;
Primary Amines:
In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.
Secondary Amines:
In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.
Tertiary Amines:
In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.
Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.

Answer:
Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;
They are generally more acidic.
Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.
Explanation:
According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,
an acid is a substance that can release ions when dissolved in water.
So, acid is a proton donor.
If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.
In the case of phenol,
the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.
The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:
Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.
So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.
