Question

What is a secondary carbocation?

Answer 1

Answer:

the carbon with the positive charge is attached to two other alkyl groups

Answer 2

$\huge{ \boxed{ \red{ \mathcal{☆Secondary\: Carbocation:}}}}$

In a secondary (2°) carbocation, the carbon with the positive charge is attached to two other alkyl groups, which may be the same or different.

If the carbon atom bearing the positive charge is directly bonded to exactly two other carbon atoms, it’s a secondary carbocation.
