Number of distinct hydrogen groups:

B | Number of distinct carbon atoms: ... Number of distinct hydrogen groups:
C | Number of distinct carbon atoms: ... Number of distinct hydrogen groups:
D | Number of distinct carbon atoms: ... Number of distinct hydrogen groups:
E | Number of distinct carbon atoms: ... Number of distinct hydrogen groups:
F | Number of distinct carbon atoms: ... Number of distinct hydrogen groups:
