Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen in structure of 2-methylbutane should be labeled.

Concept introduction: The carbon linked to one alkyl / carbon while other two H are termed primary carbon. Thus hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl /carbons and one H is termed secondary carbon. Thus hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary. The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and no H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

The different kinds of primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen are illustrated as follows:
