All right, so let's begin with the degree of unsaturation.
00:05
So the degree of unsaturation basically helps to figure out what the bonds are in a molecule.
00:11
So if the molecule has double bonds or if it only has single bonds or maybe if the molecule has rings and no rings.
00:18
So there's a formula to use to be able to figure this out.
00:22
And this is it right here.
00:24
That's the formula.
00:26
So let's break it down before we start.
00:28
The c, this is the amount of carbons, the n is nitrogen.
00:35
This h is hydrogen, and this x are halogens.
00:39
So we don't need to worry about all of them for this one, since there's only carbon and hydrogen in this molecule.
00:48
So we're just going to plug in the ones that we do have.
00:54
So we know something like this and equal two, and then how many carbons we have, that's 10.
01:01
And then plus 2.
01:04
And we don't have any nitrogens or halogens.
01:07
So it's just going to be minus.
01:08
And the amount of hydrogens, we have 16.
01:12
And then everything is divided by 2.
01:18
So this molecule in particular, it has a degree of saturation of 3...
