Primary Amines:

It is formed when one hydrogen atom in ammonia is substituted by an alkyl or aromatic group. Amino acids and methyl amine are the best examples that why aromatic amines include aniline.

Secondary Amines:

Amines that have two organic substitutes either alkyl or aryl ones or both and are bound to the nitrogen together with one hydrogen are termed as secondary amines. For Example, Dimethylamine.

Tertiary Amines:

Tertiary Amines are the amines where the nitrogen consists of three organic substitutes. For example, Trimethylamine and EDTA.
