Answer:
The degree of unsaturation for a compound with molecular formula C₆H₆ is 4.
Explanation:
The degree of unsaturation is calculated through the following formula:
2n + 2 - H / 2
n = Total number of hydrogen in given compound
There are six hydrogen in given compound, now we will calculate the degree of unsaturation by putting the value of n= 6
(2(6) + 2 - 6 )/ 2
(12+ 2 - 6) / 2
(14 - 6) /2
8 / 2 = 4
The degree of unsaturation for a compound with molecular formula C₆H₆ is 4.
The given compound is benzene and degree of unsaturation is 4. Three double bond and one ring.
