Question 1 Report

A primary amide is generally represented by the formula
Answer Details
A primary amide is generally represented by the formula RCONH2. This means that it is a compound made up of an R group (which can be any alkyl or aryl group) attached to a carbon atom, which is then connected to a nitrogen atom by a double bond, and that nitrogen atom is also bonded to two hydrogen atoms. This arrangement of atoms is characteristic of a primary amide, which is an organic compound that contains the functional group -CONH2. The other options listed are not primary amides. RCOOR is an ester, RCONHR is a secondary amide (with one hydrogen atom replaced by an R group), and RCONR2 is a tertiary amide (with both hydrogen atoms replaced by R groups).
