Geminal Hydrogens
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Geminal hydrogens are the hydrogen atoms on the same atom in an organic molecule.
eg. 1:
H1, H2, and H3 in 1 are on the same carbon atom. Therefore, they are geminal hydrogens.
eg. 2:
H1 and H2 in 2 are on the same carbon atom. Therefore, they are geminal hydrogens.
