Expert Solution

Step 1

(a)

Calculate the double bond equivalence for the molecular formula C₂H₆O as follows:

Double bond equivalence = C+1- $\frac{H + X - N}{2}$

=2+1- $\frac{6 + 0 - 0}{2}$

=3-3

Here, the double bond equivalence is 0. So, no double bond is present in this compound. Because there is only one peak, the hydrogen atoms are not adjacent to each other and the molecule must be symmetric and thus the possible structure is as follows:

In this structure, there are two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
