Question
For the following formula, C7H1oNBr, calculate the IHD and select all the types of unsaturation that might be present in the molecule based on the IHD. Number IHD = The types of unsaturation that might be present: O O no unsaturation; no multiple bonds or ring closings one double bond or one ring closing three double bonds; or three ring closings; or two double bonds and one ring closing; or one double bond and two ring closings; or one triple bond and one double bond; or one triple bond and one ring closing O many possibilities; most likely a benzene ringExplanation / Answer
IHD = [2(C) + 2 + N - X - H]/2
C7H10NBr
IHD = [2(7)+2+1-1-10]/2 = [14+2+1-1-10]/2 = 6/2 = 3
Therefore, IHD = 3
Three double bonds; or three ring closings; or two double bonds and one ring closing; or one double bond and two ring closings; one triple bond and one double bond; or one triple bond and one ring closing is correct
option 3 is correct
