How many primary, secondary and tertiary carbon atoms repsectively are present in isobutane?
- A 0,1 and 3
- B 3,1 and 0
- C 3,0 and 1
- D 1,0 and 3
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 3,0 and 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Carbons have a special terminology to describe how many other carbons they are attached to. Hydrogen atoms are also classified in this manner. A hydrogen atom attached to a primary, secondary and tertiary carbon atom is called a primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen respectively.
Hence, isobutane, has nine primary hydrogens and one tertiary hydrogen.
