Dear student 
The alpha carbon (Cα) in organic molecules refers to the first carbon atom that attaches to a functional group, such as a carbonyl. The second carbon atom is called the beta carbon (Cβ), and the system continues naming in alphabetical order with Greek letters.

Degree of carbon represents that the carbon is bonded to how many other carbon atoms . for eg in ethane there are two one degree carbon atom and in propane there are one 2 degree and two one degree carbon atom.
Although in methane the carbon is not connected to any other carbon atom but the carbon in methane is regarded as 1 degree carbon atom
