10. Physical Properties of Amines

12. The carbon-nitrogen triple bond is reduced using hydrides to give a primary amine.
For example, with ethanenitrile you get ethylamine
The reduction of nitriles using hydrogen and a metal catalyst

13. The more ammonia there is in the mixture, the more the forward reaction is favoured..

15. Amines as Bases

17. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because of the resonance in aromatic amines

18. Electron-donating groups increase the basicity of amines, and electron-withdrawing groups decrease their basicity , and amines are stronger bases than amides
