Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Depending on the number and type of hydrogen nonhydrogen atoms in the given compound and its IHD, the number of hydrogen atoms in each compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The index of hydrogen deficiency of a molecule is the extent to which the molecule is unsaturated. It is half the number of hydrogen atoms missing from the molecule as compared to a completely saturated molecule. The contribution of each double bond in a molecule to the molecule’s index of hydrogen deficiency is 1. The contribution of each triple bond in a molecule to the molecule’s index of hydrogen deficiency is 2. The contribution of each ring in a molecule to the molecule’s index of hydrogen deficiency is 1. If a molecule is saturated and has no rings, double bonds, and triple bonds, its index of hydrogen deficiency is 0.
