What you learn in Theory:
Primary amines arise when one of three hydrogen atoms in ammonia is replaced by an alkyl or aromatic.
What you learn in Practice:
Secondary amines have two organic substituents (alkyl, aryl or both) bound to N together with one hydrogen (or no hydrogen if one of the substituent bonds is double).
