Question

In the alkane $H_{3} C - C H_{2} - C (C H_{3})_{2} - C H_{2} - C H (C H_{3})_{2}$ , identify $1^{\circ}, 2^{\circ}, 3^{\circ}$ carbon atoms and give the number of H atoms bonded to each one of these.

Open in App

Solution

There are five- primary carbons as shown in the structure. Each $1^{\circ}$ carbon atoms have three hydrogen atoms attached to them.
There are two secondary $2^{\circ}$ carbon atoms, (2nd and 4th carbons) , they have two carbon atoms as their neighbours, & each has two hydrogen atoms attached.

There is only one tertiary carbon $3^{\circ}$ ,which is bonded to three carbon atoms i.e., they have three carbon atoms as their neighbours and only one hydrogen atom is attached to it.
