Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the number of hydrogen atoms needed, we can use the formula CnH2n+2 where n is the number of carbon atoms. In this hydrocarbon structure, there are 5 carbon atoms. 
Plugging n=5 into the formula, we get C5H12, which means there are 12 hydrogen atoms needed. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 12.
