What does AMINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A nitrogen-based organic compound built by swapping one or more hydrogen atoms of ammonia for an organic group.
Chemists classify an amine as primary, secondary, or tertiary depending on how many hydrogen atoms of the original ammonia molecule have been replaced. Amines occur naturally in many biological molecules, including amino acids and neurotransmitters, and also appear in industrial chemicals and dyes. Because nitrogen carries a lone pair of electrons, an amine typically acts as a weak base in chemical reactions.
