Hello,
In this case, there are two possible ways to bear out that this alkane has two rings.
- Drawing: on the attached document, you will see the suitable structural formula for such alkane.
- By computing the degree of unsaturation: one applies the following formula for the degree of unsaturation that is also related with the number of rings no double or triple bonds are present , whereas nCn_Cn
C
accounts for the number of carbon atoms and nHn_Hn
H
for the number of hydrogen atoms:
3 rings is the answer
