Answer:

  1. 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.
  2. A secondary carbon is a carbon atom bound to two other carbon atoms. For this reason, secondary carbon atoms are found in all hydrocarbons having at least three carbon atoms. In unbranched alkanes, the inner carbon atoms are always secondary carbon atoms.
  3. A tertiary carbon atom is a carbon atom bound to three other carbon atoms. For this reason, tertiary carbon atoms are found only in hydrocarbons containing at least four carbon atoms. Tertiary carbon atoms can occur, for example, in branched alkanes, but not in linear alkanes.
  4. A quaternary carbon is a carbon atom bound to four other carbon atoms. For this reason, quaternary carbon atoms are found only in hydrocarbons having at least five carbon atoms. Quaternary carbon atoms can occur in branched alkanes, but not in linear alkanes.

Answer:

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. With a standard atomic weight of 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.
