Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is true because amines react with water to form hydroxide ions, making the solution basic. Statement 2 is false because acetamide is a two-carbon amide (CH3CONH2), and ethanamide, another name for acetamide, is also a two-carbon amide, not a one-carbon amide. Statement 3 is false because the most common type of polyamide is nylon, not polyurethane, which is a different class of polymers.
