Amines, Amides, and Nitro!

Amines are functional groups that contain a Nitrogen compound bonded to either Hydrogens and Carbons.Also, amines are alphabetically named. There are three levels of Amines:
- Primary Amines have 1 carbon bond
- Secondary Amines have 2 carbon bonds
- Tertiary Amines have 3 carbon bonds


Amides must have a double bonded oxygen and an NH2. The endings for Amides are "-amide". One of the simplest amide is ethanamide.



Nitros have the funtional groupd of NO2. Also when naming a nitro, we add "Nitro" to the beginning of the 
name.
