Question

Ques. which of the following statement is true for tertiary carbon
a)a carbon bonded with 1 H atom b)a carbon bonded with max 4 other carbons
c)a carbon bonded with max 3 other carbons
d)none of the above

Answer 1

srry b

Answer 2

reason?

Answer 3

srry i think its c

Answer 4

hey tertiary means 3 right?>
so it shud be surrounded by 3 C and one H or something other than H but not a C

Answer 5

arvind last option is also left y dont u say d too :P

Answer 6

no one is correct till yet think more guys cmn..

Answer 7

srry heena .... i got cnfused in btw lol...wel now i will tell
we define primary secondary tertiary and ternary carbon atoms by considering no : of carbonns bonded with a reference carbon atom .we denote them retrice1* ,2*,3* so most probably the answer is c

Answer 8

well wbu @apoorvk ur ans den i ll tell u d trick

Answer 9

D - None of the above. A tertiary carbon is a carbon atom that is singly bonded with EXACTLY 4 other adjacent carbon atoms. no less, and certainly no more.

Answer 10

sorry i am wrong wait. i misread it

Answer 11

well u r right but tatement is wrong can anyone tell me y C is wrong??

Answer 12

WAAAIIIIITTT!!!!

Answer 13

i think the qn has some spell .evryone is misreading it!!!

Answer 14

k i figured out

Answer 15

D- None of the above. But the reason is a tertiary carbon is a carbon with exaclty 3 carbons. and the other 4th bond can be any other single bond.

Answer 16

well i m asking tell me y option C is wrong

Answer 17

c is wrong because it is said maximum..this means that 1c ,2c are also possible

Answer 18

i mean tertiary means exactly 3 c-c bond

Answer 19

that is, with any element except carbon itself.. (and not necessarily H only as stated in option A)


What in the whole holy hell was I thinking? "tertiary" lol.

C is wrong because it has to be bonded with EXACTLY 3 carbons, not a MAXIMUM of 3.

Answer 20

arvind reason is right
retricewell as ur too apoorv see the trick of this qn no one can get it at firsts time :)

Answer 21

i have some more qn? wanna work out?

Answer 22

Heena, not boasting but I just mis-processed the word 'tertiary'. I have done this before in one of my tests, and I did get it correct then. god knows what happened today :D

Answer 23

yeah sure. shoot!!!

Answer 24

but solve my problem please.. its on the top!

Answer 25

i didnt studied electrochemistry yet sorry :(

Answer 26

oh yeah sorry, you just entered 12th grade. no probs then.
