Not necessarily. Amines contain nitrogen, but many do not contain oxygen.

No, amines do not contain oxygen. Amines are organic compounds that contain a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms and/or alkyl or aryl groups.
True. Amines, amides, and amino acids are organic compounds that contain the element nitrogen.
The isomeric amines of formula C7H9N that contain a benzene ring are aniline and 2-aminotoluene. Aniline has the formula C6H5NH2, while 2-aminotoluene has the formula C7H7NH2.
Yes, amines are generally better nucleophiles than alcohols due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, which is more available for donation compared to the oxygen atom in alcohols. Amines can readily donate these electrons to form new bonds in chemical reactions.
Ammonia belongs to the class of compounds known as amines. Amines are organic compounds that contain nitrogen as the key element, with ammonia being the simplest example.
Organic compounds that act like bases typically contain nitrogen atoms in their structure. Examples include amines like ammonia (NH3), amines, and amino acids such as lysine, histidine, and arginine. These compounds can accept protons (H+) to form positively charged ions.
