Chapter 15.16, Problem 36ATS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure features for the given molecular formula should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular formula: It represents the types of atoms with their total number present in a given molecule.

The Hydrogen Deficiency Index (HDI): It is used to measure the number of degrees of unsaturation (double and triple bonds) present in a given molecule. It is determined by using the formula

$\begin{array}{l}\text{HDI}\text{=}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{[(2}\times \text{No}\text{. of Carbon atoms)+2+(No}\text{. of Nitrogen atoms)}\\ \text{-(No}\text{. of Hydrogen atoms)-(No}\text{. of halogens)]}\end{array}$

To determine: The structure features for the molecular formula under given condition.
