Primary, Secondary, ect. Carbons

[Colette Ussery 3L]

When/how will knowledge of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons be used in the class? I haven't seen any problems on them.

i have not seen it used with carbons however it is sometimes used with nitrogens when dealing with the amine functional groups. I saw on some midterms that you only get one point instead of two if you don't specify what kind of amine the functional group (i.e primary, secondary, etc.)
