Question

Draw the line-angle formula for the most stable carbocation with a molecular formula of: You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If there are alternative structures, draw the most stable one.

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

The most stable carbocation is: $C_9H^{+}_{11}$

• The means of $C_9H^{+}_{11}$ is a hydrocarbon with $C_9H_{12}$, which is needed to find the double bonds.

• The formula for calculating the unsaturation hydrocarbons are:

Degree of the unsaturation

    $= \frac{2C+2+N-X-H}{2}$

Where,

C=9, N=0, X=0, H=12

$\ Degree \ of \ the \ unsaturation= \frac{2\times 9+2+0-0-12}{2}$

                                              $= \frac{20-12}{2}\\= \frac{8}{2}\\=4$

which means 3 double bonds and 1 ring.
