A free morpheme is a word that can stand on its own and a bound morpheme is one which does not have any meaning on it own.
So, going by the general assumptions, I am categorizing the words.
1. Logical = Logic (free morpheme) + al (bound morpheme).
2. Infamous = 2 free morphemes - In + fam (fame) + 1 bound morph 'ous'.
3. Approachable = 2 free morphemes - Approach + able.
4. Unfortunate = Un (bound morph) + fortune (free morph) + ate (bound morph).
5. Attached = Attach (free morph) + ed (bound morph)
