Chapter 26, Problem 68E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The element of unsaturation in ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{9}}\text{NO}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:

Element of unsaturation, also known as double bond equivalent, is a method used to calculate the number of pi bonds present in organic molecules. It can also be used to determine the number of rings present in the given formula. The formula used is developed by incorporating the number of carbons, hydrogen, halogen and nitrogen atoms. Oxygen does not contribute to the element of unsaturation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The element of unsaturation in ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_8{\text{O}}_3$ should be written.
