Question

CH₃ — N —CH₃

|

CH₃

Answer 1

The type/functional group would be an amine. The name of the compound would be trimethyl amine.

An amine is a derivative of ammonia (NH3) where one, two, or all three hydrogen are replaced by carbon (hydrocarbon) groups.

-CH3 is a methyl group and there are three of them, so we call it trimethyl amine.
