Three carbon atoms are linked by single covalent bonds such that they form the shape of a V. All of the unshared electrons form covalent bonds with hydrogen. How many hydrogen atoms does this molecule contain?
A) 2
B) 6
C) 8
D) 4
E) 10

So, each carbon is bonded to the next carbon with the single bond, Number of unshared electrons left with the terminate carbons are 3 and with the intermediate carbon is 2.

Thus, the two terminate carbon have 3 hydrogen each and the intermediate will have 2.

Total - 8
