The correct Answer is:
To determine the compound that contains all four types of carbon atoms (1°, 2°, 3°, and 4°), we will analyze the given options systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Degrees of Carbon:** - A **1° (primary)** carbon is attached to only one other carbon. - A **2° (secondary)** carbon is attached to two other carbons. - A **3° (tertiary)** carbon is attached to three other carbons. - A **4° (quaternary)** carbon is attached to four other carbons. 2. **Analyze Each Option:** - **Option A: 2,3-Dimethylpentane** - Structure: - 5 carbons in a chain with two methyl groups on the 2nd and 3rd carbons. - The carbons can be numbered as follows: - C1 (1°), C2 (2°), C3 (2°), C4 (3°), C5 (1°). - This option does not contain a 4° carbon. - **Option B: 2,3,3-Trimethylpentane** - Structure: - 5 carbons in a chain with three methyl groups on the 2nd and 3rd carbons. - The carbons can be numbered as follows: - C1 (1°), C2 (2°), C3 (3°), C4 (3°), C5 (1°). - This option has a 1°, 2°, and 3° carbon but no 4° carbon. - **Option C: 2,2,3-Trimethylpentane** - Structure: - 5 carbons in a chain with three methyl groups on the 2nd and 3rd carbons. - The carbons can be numbered as follows: - C1 (1°), C2 (3°), C3 (2°), C4 (1°), C5 (1°). - This option has a 1°, 2°, and 3° carbon but no 4° carbon. - **Option D: 3,3-Dimethylpentane** - Structure: - 5 carbons in a chain with two methyl groups on the 3rd carbon. - The carbons can be numbered as follows: - C1 (1°), C2 (2°), C3 (3°), C4 (2°), C5 (1°). - This option does not contain a 4° carbon. 3. **Conclusion:** - After analyzing all options, **none of the options contain all four types of carbon atoms (1°, 2°, 3°, and 4°)**. However, if we were to consider a compound that could theoretically contain all four types, we would look for a structure that has a quaternary carbon connected to a tertiary, secondary, and primary carbon. ### Final Answer: None of the provided options contain all four types of carbon atoms (1°, 2°, 3°, and 4°).

To determine the compound that contains all four types of carbon atoms (1°, 2°, 3°, and 4°), we will analyze the given options systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Degrees of Carbon:** - A **1° (primary)** carbon is attached to only one other carbon. - A **2° (secondary)** carbon is attached to two other carbons. - A **3° (tertiary)** carbon is attached to three other carbons. ...
