Functional Groups: Amines and Amides

Amines

Amines are chemical compounds that have a lone nitrogen group connected to a carbon in the parent chain

To name amines, the naming rules stay the same but change the ending to -amine. 

Amides

Amides are very similar to amines in which not only a nitrogen is connected to a carbon, but also a double bonded oxygen is bonded to that carbon as well. So one Carbon will have both a Nitrogen group and a double bonded oxygen. To name amides, same rules apply and we replace the parent ending chain with -amide.
