    The molecular formula \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{9}}N\]cannot represent

    A)  \[{{1}^{o}}\]amine                        

    B) \[{{2}^{o}}\]amine

    C)  \[{{3}^{o}}\]amine      

    D)  quaternary salt

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{9}}N\]represents following structures \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Propanamine} \\  \,\,\,\,\text{(}{{\text{1}}^{\text{o}}}\text{amine)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{N}-\text{methyl}\,\text{ethanamine} \\  \text{(}{{\text{2}}^{\text{o}}}\,\text{amine)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{N,N}-\text{dimethyl}\,\text{methanamine} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,({{3}^{o}}\,amine) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\therefore \]quaternary salt cannot be represented by\[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{9}}N.\]
