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

Following are the answer to this question:

Step-by-step 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

`= (2C+2+N-X-H)/(2)`

Where,

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

`\ Degree \ of \ the \ unsaturation= (2* 9+2+0-0-12)/(2)`

`= (20-12)/(2)\\= (8)/(2)\\=4`

which means 3 double bonds and 1 ring.
