Amines act as Lewis bases.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lewis Bases**: - A Lewis base is defined as any compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). This definition is crucial for determining whether a substance qualifies as a Lewis base. 2. **Identifying Amines**: - Amines are organic compounds that contain nitrogen atoms bonded to carbon and/or hydrogen atoms. The general formula for amines can be represented as R-NH₂, R₂NH, or R₃N, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group. ...
