Solution

Propan-2-ol, also known as isopropanol, has three different carbon chemical environments. Here's why:

  1. The first environment is the carbon atom in the middle (C2), which is attached to an OH group and two other carbon atoms.

  2. The second environment is the carbon atom at one end of the molecule (C1), which is attached to three hydrogen atoms and the middle carbon atom.

  3. The third environment is the carbon atom at the other end of the molecule (C3), which is also attached to three hydrogen atoms and the middle carbon atom.

Even though the second and third carbon atoms are in similar environments (both attached to three hydrogens and one carbon), they are considered different because the middle carbon they are attached to is in a different environment.
