The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying the primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon atoms in the alkane `H3C-CH2-C(CH3)2-CH2-CH(CH3)2`, and to determine the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each of these carbon atoms, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Structure First, we need to draw the structure of the given alkane. The structure can be represented as follows: ``` CH3 | H3C - CH2 - C - CH2 - C | | CH3 CH3 ``` ### Step 2: Identify Carbon Atoms Now, we will label each carbon atom in the structure: 1. **C1**: The first carbon (attached to three hydrogens, CH3). 2. **C2**: The second carbon (attached to two hydrogens and one carbon, CH2). 3. **C3**: The third carbon (attached to two CH3 groups and one carbon, C(CH3)2). 4. **C4**: The fourth carbon (attached to two hydrogens and one carbon, CH2). 5. **C5**: The fifth carbon (attached to one hydrogen and two CH3 groups, CH(CH3)2). ### Step 3: Classify Each Carbon Now we classify each carbon atom as primary, secondary, or tertiary: - **Primary Carbon (1°)**: A carbon atom bonded to only one other carbon atom. - **Secondary Carbon (2°)**: A carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms. - **Tertiary Carbon (3°)**: A carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms. From our structure: - **C1**: Primary (bonded to one carbon) - **C2**: Secondary (bonded to two carbons) - **C3**: Tertiary (bonded to three carbons) - **C4**: Secondary (bonded to two carbons) - **C5**: Tertiary (bonded to three carbons) ### Step 4: Count Hydrogen Atoms Next, we will count the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon: - **C1**: 3 hydrogens (CH3) - **C2**: 2 hydrogens (CH2) - **C3**: 1 hydrogen (since it is bonded to two CH3 groups) - **C4**: 2 hydrogens (CH2) - **C5**: 1 hydrogen (since it is bonded to one carbon and two CH3 groups) ### Summary of Results - **C1 (Primary)**: 3 H atoms - **C2 (Secondary)**: 2 H atoms - **C3 (Tertiary)**: 1 H atom - **C4 (Secondary)**: 2 H atoms - **C5 (Tertiary)**: 1 H atom ### Final Answer - Primary Carbon (C1): 3 H atoms - Secondary Carbons (C2, C4): 2 H atoms each - Tertiary Carbons (C3, C5): 1 H atom each
