QUESTION:

Give the structures and IUPAC names of all the \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{5}}}{{\rm{H}}_{{\rm{11}}}}\) alkyl groups, and identify them as primary, secondary, or tertiary, as appropriate. Consider the alkyl group having the same carbon skeleton as \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{C}\). All the hydrogens are equivalent; replacing any one of them by a potential point of attachment is the same as replacing any of the others.
