Chapter 2, Problem 2.12P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

In the structure of 4-isopropyl-2, 4, 5-trimethylheptane primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The carbons in a chemical formula may or may not be branched. The branched carbons are categorized as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons depending on the substituent attached to it. The branched carbons are categorized to understand the chemical reactions in which these carbons are involved.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

In the structure of 4-isopropyl-2, 4, 5-trimethylheptane primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen’s are to be identified.

The branched carbons are categorized to understand the chemical reactions in which these carbons are involved.

The hydrogen’s attached to branched carbons are also categorized as primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen’s.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

In the structure of 4-isopropyl-2, 4, 5-trimethylheptane one example of a methyl group; an ethyl group; an isopropyl group; a sec-butyl group; an isobutyl group are to be circled.
