Question

How to determine whether a carbon compound is primary, secondary or tertiary?

Answer 1

Heya!!!


Answer to your question:


You just need to check with how many carbons it is attached
If it is attached with 1 carbon then it is primary, 2 then secondary and 3 then tertiary.


Hope it helps *_*

Answer 2

Primary carbons, are carbons attached to one other carbon. (Hydrogens – although usually 3 in number in this case – are ignored in this terminology, as we shall see). Secondary carbons are attached to two other carbons.Tertiary carbons are attached to three other carbons
