Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Secondary Carbons

A secondary carbon is a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms.

Step 2: Identifying Secondary Carbons in the Molecule

The molecule shown is C-C-C-C-C-C. Let's number the carbons 1 through 6. 1-C-2-C-3-C-4-C-5-C-6-C Carbons 2, 3, 4, and 5 are each bonded to two other carbon atoms.

Step 3: Counting the Secondary Carbons

There are four secondary carbons in the given molecule.

Final Answer: 2
