The video tutorial explains how to label primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons in a molecule. It emphasizes the importance of identifying these carbons for understanding their behavior in chemical reactions. The tutorial provides a labeling scheme using colors and symbols to differentiate between the types of carbons. It then goes through the process of identifying each type of carbon based on the number of carbon atoms they are connected to, highlighting the significance of this knowledge in predicting reaction outcomes.
