The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will first draw the structure of the given alkane `H3C-CH2-C(CH3)2-CH2-CH(CH3)2` and then identify the degree of each carbon atom along with the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each one. ### Step 1: Draw the Structure The given alkane can be represented as follows: ``` CH3 | H3C - CH2 - C - CH2 - C | | CH3 CH3 ``` ### Step 2: Identify Carbon Atoms Now, let's label the carbon atoms in the structure: 1. **C1**: CH3 (first carbon) 2. **C2**: CH2 (second carbon) 3. **C3**: C (central carbon connected to two CH3 groups) 4. **C4**: CH2 (fourth carbon) 5. **C5**: C (connected to CH3 and CH2) ### Step 3: Determine Degree of Each Carbon Atom - **1° (Primary) Carbon**: A carbon atom bonded to only one other carbon atom. - **2° (Secondary) Carbon**: A carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms. - **3° (Tertiary) Carbon**: A carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms. From our structure: - **C1** (CH3) is a **1° carbon** (bonded to one carbon). - **C2** (CH2) is a **2° carbon** (bonded to two carbons). - **C3** (central carbon) is a **3° carbon** (bonded to three carbons). - **C4** (CH2) is a **2° carbon** (bonded to two carbons). - **C5** (CH) is a **1° carbon** (bonded to one carbon). ### Step 4: Count Hydrogen Atoms Now, we will count the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom: - **C1 (1°)**: 3 H atoms (as in CH3) - **C2 (2°)**: 2 H atoms (as in CH2) - **C3 (3°)**: 0 H atoms (as it is bonded to three carbons) - **C4 (2°)**: 2 H atoms (as in CH2) - **C5 (1°)**: 3 H atoms (as in CH) ### Summary of Carbon Degrees and Hydrogen Counts - **C1 (1°)**: 3 H - **C2 (2°)**: 2 H - **C3 (3°)**: 0 H - **C4 (2°)**: 2 H - **C5 (1°)**: 3 H ### Final Answer - **1° Carbons**: C1 and C5 (3 H each) - **2° Carbons**: C2 and C4 (2 H each) - **3° Carbon**: C3 (0 H)

To solve the problem, we will first draw the structure of the given alkane `H3C-CH2-C(CH3)2-CH2-CH(CH3)2` and then identify the degree of each carbon atom along with the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each one. ### Step 1: Draw the Structure The given alkane can be represented as follows: ``` CH3 | ...
