How many β-carbon atoms does 2-Bromobutane have?
How many β-carbon atoms does 2-Bromobutane have? Correct Answer 1
A beta carbon is the carbon atom that is adjacent to the carbon atom that is attached to the halogen. In 2-Bromobutane, the halogen is at position C-2, so the alpha carbon has one carbon on either side, making it two beta carbons
