(a)
Interpretation:
Whether or not secondary and tertiary carbon atoms are present in the structures given has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
In a hydrocarbon structure, each and every carbon atoms are classified as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon atom.
If a carbon atom in an organic molecule is directly bonded to only one another carbon atom is known as primary carbon atom.
If a carbon atom in an organic molecule is directly bonded to two other carbon atoms is known as secondary carbon atom.
If a carbon atom in an organic molecule is directly bonded to three other carbon atoms is known as tertiary carbon atom.
If a carbon atom in an organic molecule is directly bonded to four another carbon atom is known as quaternary carbon atom.
These carbon atoms are denoted by notations as,

- How many secondary carbon atoms are present in each of the structures in Problem 12-96? a. b. c. d.arrow_forwardAs stated in Section 11-9, the wax found in apple skins is an unbranched alkane with the molecular formula C^H^. Explain how the presence of this alkane in apple skins prevents the loss of moisture from within the apple.arrow_forwardAlcoholic beverages contain: a. wood alcohol. b. isopropyl alcohol. c. glyceryl alcohol. d. ethyl alcohol.arrow_forward

Pentane has higher molar mass than hexane. The longer the linear alkyl chain for straight-chain hydrocarbons, the higher the boiling point. The local geometry around the alkyne group is linear. Propane has two structural isomers.arrow_forward
