Primary (1°)and secondary (2°)amines have higher boiling points and melting points than tertiary (3°)amines of comparable size.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary and secondary amines can form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of a hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen, which increases their boiling and melting points. Tertiary amines lack this hydrogen, making their boiling and melting points lower in comparison.
