Chapter 3: Q3-3--9P (page 72)

Identify the hydrogen atoms on the compounds shown in Problem 3-8 as primary, secondary, or tertiary.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Primary hydrogens are connected to primary carbons, secondary hydrogens are linked to secondary carbons, and tertiary hydrogens are linked to tertiary carbons.

Step by step solution

01

Primary, secondary, and tertiary hydrogen atoms

Primary hydrogens are connected to primary carbons, secondary hydrogens are linked to secondary carbons, and tertiary hydrogens are linked to tertiary carbons.

02

Identification of the carbon atoms as primary, secondary, and tertiary hydrogen atoms

The carbon atoms are denoted as primary is p, secondary is s, and tertiary is t. The primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon atoms are given below:
