Write a line formula for all the free radicals that have the formula C5H11 and classify each as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Which one is the most stable?
Draw 3 resonance structures of CNO- (connected in that order) and rank them in terms of stability.
The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation.
(a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7H13ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
