The number of sp 3 hybridised carbons in an acyclic neutral compound with molecular formula C 4 H 5 N is

The number of sp3 hybridised carbons in an acyclic neutral compound with molecular formula C4H5N is

Solution

 

Degree of unsaturationDU=2C+2+N-H-X2

DU=8+2+1-52=3

DU = Degree of unsaturation. It gives the information of number of pi bonds and rings in a compound. Given that acyclic compound, hence, the structure of the molecule is as follows,

or  CH2=C=CH=CH=NHZero sp3 carbon
