Secondary carbon atom
If a carbon attached to functional group is directly attached to the two C-atoms, then it is said to be “secondary carbon atom” or,
Tertiary carbon atom
If the carbon atom that is attached to a functional group is directly attached to three C-atoms, then it is said to be a “tertiary carbon atom” or,
