Chapter 10.2, Problem 10.4Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Carbon atoms in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C(CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ have to be classified as primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary.

Concept Introduction:

Carbon atom that is directly bonded to only one other carbon atom is known as primary carbon.  Secondary carbon is the one that is bonded to two other carbon atoms.  Teritary carbon is the one that is bonded to three other carbon atoms.  Quaternary carbon atom is the one that is bonded to four other carbon atoms.  Primary is represented as $\text{1°}$, secondary as $\text{2°}$, tertiary as $\text{3°}$ and quaternary as $\text{4°}$.

(b)
