1° carbon atoms are those which are bonded to only one
carbon atom i e , they have only one carbon atom as their neighbour
The given structure has five 1° carbon atoms and fifteen
hydrogen atoms attached to it
2° carbon atoms are those which are bonded to two carbon
atoms i e , they have two carbon atoms as their neighbours The
given structure has two 2° carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms
attached to it
3° carbon atoms are those which are bonded to three carbon
atoms i e , they have three carbon atoms as their neighbours The
given structure has one 3° carbon atom and only one hydrogen
atom is attached to it

In the alkane H3C–CH2–C(CH3)2–CH2–CH(CH3)2, identify 1°,2°,3° carbon atoms and give the number of H atoms bonded to each one of these.

In the alkane H₃C–CH₂–C(CH₃)₂–CH₂–CH(CH₃)₂, identify 1°,2°,3° carbon atoms and give the number of H atoms bonded to each one of these.
