How can you easily identify amines? For example, if you're given NH2NH2, you know it's an amine because it has NH2 in the end, but how would you know that (CH3)3N is an amine?

Amines contain a nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

Another example of an amine is NH3, since it has a nitrogen with a lone pair.

Amines are compounds derived from ammonia and are often biological compounds with N lone pair that can act as a base.

Hey!

Organic compounds with a lone pair on a nitrogen that can act as a Lewis Base are considered amines.

All amines are derivatives of ammonia and can be identified by a Nitrogen with a lone pair.
Example:
methylamine (CH3NH2) from ammonia (NH3)
If you drew out the Lewis structure for methylamine, you would find a lone pair on Nitrogen.
