Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the compound having molecular formula
Concept introduction:
In
The number of signals in a spectrum gives information about the type of carbon atoms present in the structure of the compound.
In
The electronegative atom/group decreases the shielding of the carbon atom to which it is attached.
Index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD) is calculated by the equation as follows:
Here,
Oxygen atoms do not disturb the index of hydrogen deficiency.
