Chapter 4, Problem 4.19P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

IHD of the given molecule is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A saturated compound is one, which has maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms consistent with the number and type of other atoms and the octet and duet rules.

In a saturated hydrocarbon containing n carbon atoms, the number of hydrogen atoms is equal to $\text{2n+2}$. Compounds containing multiple bonds or rings contain less than this number of hydrogen atoms and are called unsaturated compounds. The hydrogen deficiency for a compound is indicated by Index of Hydrogen Deficiency (IHD). IHD is defined as half the number of missing hydrogens, compared to an analogous saturated molecule.
