quaternary ammonium salts that have a longhydrocarbon tail
used to make cleaningproductssuch as shampoolaundrydetergents
nd washing upliquids
non polar tail is attracted to the oil grease polarhead attracted to water
allows water and oiltomix and remove greasefrom clothink skin dishes
have a ve ammonium ion which is attracted to vely charged fibres and hair
removes static so is used in hair conditionerandfrabic softener

amines as a base
amines have a lone pair of electrons that allow them toaccept a proton
Ct as a base
order of base strength weakest to strongest
Aromatic amines Ammonia Primary aliphatic amines
Benzene is an e withdrawinggroupso it pulls electrons away

Primaryaliphaticamines
alkyl groups are e pushinggroups sotheypushe towards
Nitrogen se density at Nitrogenincreases so lone pair
a pg availability is increased and primaryaliphatic amines are
more basic
amines are also nucleophiles
