Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the type of carbocation for each structure
  • Structure A: The carbocation is attached to a carbon that is bonded to two other carbons (secondary).
  • Structure B: The carbocation is attached to a carbon that is bonded to two other carbons (secondary).
  • Structure C: The carbocation is attached to a carbon that is bonded to one other carbon (primary).
  • Structure D: The carbocation is attached to a carbon that is bonded to two other carbons (secondary).
  • Structure E: The carbocation is attached to a carbon that is bonded to one other carbon (primary).
Step 2: Select the structures that represent secondary carbocations
  • Structure A: Secondary carbocation.
  • Structure B: Secondary carbocation.
  • Structure D: Secondary carbocation.

Final Answer

  • Structure A
  • Structure B
  • Structure D
