The correct Answer is:
To determine the alkane that has only one degree hydrogen atoms, we need to understand what "one degree hydrogen" means. A one degree hydrogen atom is a hydrogen atom that is attached to a carbon atom, which is only connected to one other carbon atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of One Degree Hydrogen:** - A hydrogen atom attached to a carbon that is bonded to only one other carbon is called a primary (or one degree) hydrogen. - If a hydrogen is attached to a carbon that is bonded to two other carbons, it is called a secondary (or two degree) hydrogen. 2. **Identify the Given Options:** - The options provided are: - A) Neopentane - B) Isopentane - C) Pentane - D) 2,2-Dimethylbutane 3. **Analyze Each Option:** - **Option A: Neopentane** - Structure: C5H12 - All carbons in neopentane are bonded to only one other carbon, meaning all attached hydrogens are primary (one degree). - Conclusion: All hydrogens are one degree hydrogens. - **Option B: Isopentane** - Structure: C5H12 - Contains a branched structure where some hydrogens are attached to carbons that are bonded to two other carbons. - Conclusion: Not all hydrogens are one degree. - **Option C: Pentane** - Structure: C5H12 - Similar to isopentane, some hydrogens are attached to secondary carbons. - Conclusion: Not all hydrogens are one degree. - **Option D: 2,2-Dimethylbutane** - Structure: C6H14 - Contains branching, leading to some hydrogens being attached to secondary carbons. - Conclusion: Not all hydrogens are one degree. 4. **Final Conclusion:** - After analyzing all options, the only alkane that has only one degree hydrogen atoms is **Neopentane** (Option A). ### Final Answer: The alkane which has only `1^(@) H` atoms is **Neopentane**.
