The hydrogen deficiency index( HDI) of strigol is = 10
<h3>How to calculate HDI:</h3>
The hydrogen deficiency index is used to measure the number of degree of unsaturation of an organic compound.
Strigol is an example of an organic compound because it contains carbons and hydrogen.
To calculate the HDI using the molecular formula given (C19H20O6) the formula for HDI is used which is:
![hdi = \frac{1}{2} (2c + 2 + n - h - x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=hdi%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%282c%20%2B%202%20%2B%20n%20-%20h%20-%20x%29)
where C = number of carbon atoms = 19
n= number of nitrogen atoms = 0
h= number of hydrogen atoms = 20
X = number of halogen atoms = 0
Note that oxygen was not considered because it forms two bonds and has no impact.
There for HDI =
![\frac{1}{2} (2 \times 19 + 2 + 0 - 20 - 0)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%282%20%5Ctimes%2019%20%2B%202%20%2B%200%20-%2020%20-%200%29)
HDI=
![\frac{1}{2} (40 - 20)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2840%20-%2020%29)
HDI =
![\frac{1}{2} \times 20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Ctimes%2020)
HDI = 10
Therefore, the hydrogen deficiency index of strigol is = 10

To form a salt compound, the acid contribute a NON METAL ION and the base contributes a METAL ION.
In chemistry, acid and base react together to form salt and water only. For the salt formed, the positive metal ion comes from the base while the negative non metal ion comes from the acid.
Ok A is the correct answer
