Explore its structure
Choose a part to light it up.
A nitrogen carrying one or two hydrogens. Its spare pair of electrons can pick up a hydrogen ion, so an amine is a base.
From: standard chemistry.
An oxygen bridging two carbons, written C-O-C. It accepts hydrogen bonds but has no hydrogen to give, and it is slow to react.
From: standard chemistry.
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine bonded to carbon. Each pulls electrons toward itself, and each is larger than the hydrogen the carbon would otherwise carry.
From: standard chemistry.
