Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of tetramethylammonium ion has to be drawn. Tetramethylammonium ion has a permanent positive charge; the reason behind this should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia (NH3) with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.
