Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the structure

The circled carbon is connected to three other atoms: a carbon atom from the methyl group (CH3), the carbon atom from the cyclohexane ring, and a hydrogen atom that is not explicitly drawn.

Step 2: Apply the octet rule

Carbon atoms form four bonds to achieve a stable octet. The circled carbon already has three explicit bonds.

Step 3: Determine the number of hydrogens

Since the circled carbon has three bonds and needs four, it must be bonded to one hydrogen atom.
