Is the carbon-nitrogen single bond in a primary amide longer or shorter than that in a primary amine? Explain.
Longer, because the carbon-nitrogen single bond in the primary amine exhibits a double bond character as a result of electron delocalization.
Longer, because the carbon-nitrogen single bond in the primary amide exhibits a single bond character as a result of electron induction.
Shorter, because the carbon-nitrogen single bond in the primary amide exhibits a double bond character as a result of electron delocalization.
Shorter, because the carbon-nitrogen single bond in the primary amine exhibits a single bond character as a result of electron induction.
