Anewly isolated natural product was found to have the molecular formula c15h28o2. by hydrogenating a sample of the compound, it was determined to possess one π bond. how many rings are present in the compound?

one ring

Explanation:

C15H28O2: DU= (2(m)+2-n)/2

m is the no of Carbon atoms and n is no of Hs in the given Molecular Forumla.

DU=2(15)+2-28/2= 32-28/2=2

It mentioned that it has one double bond and it corresponds to one DU.

And remaining one DU corresponds to one ring

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
