Understand what an amino group is: it is a functional group consisting of a nitrogen atom attached to one or more hydrogen atoms, typically represented as \(-\mathrm{NH}_2\).
Examine each molecule's formula and structure to identify the presence of the amino group:
For \(\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{OH}\) (ethanol), note that it contains a hydroxyl group \(-\mathrm{OH}\), not an amino group.
For \(\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{COOH}\) (acetic acid), recognize the carboxyl group \(-\mathrm{COOH}\), which is different from an amino group.
For \(\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{NH}_2\) (methylamine), identify the \(-\mathrm{NH}_2\) group attached to the methyl group, confirming the presence of an amino group.
