Hi there.

To answer this question, let's start out talking about a primary, secondary, inter -share alcohol.
00:09
So we know all alcohols have the oh group that are bonded to a carbon.
00:16
Well, if that carbon is bonded to just one hydrocarbon group, then that is known as a primary carbon, because it only has one carbon chain attached to it, and that gives us a primary alcohol.
00:39
If we have the same scenario, but now the carbon that the hydroxyl group is bonded to is bonded to two hydrocarbon groups, then this is a secondary carbon and we have a secondary alcohol.
01:07
As you may have already guessed, if we have that carbon bonded to three hydrocarbon chains, which may or may not be the same, that doesn't really matter as long as they have at least one carbon in them.
01:27
This would be a tertiary alcohol...
