Squalene, an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of steroids, has the molecular formula C30H50 and has no triple bonds. (a) What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of squalene

6

Explanation:

Molecular Formular = C30H50

Degree of saturation = (2C + 2 - H ) / 2

Degree of saturation = [ 2(30) + 2 - 50 ] / 2

Degree of saturation = ( 62 -50 ) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6

answer: h+ its less than oh

explanation:

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
