First, calculate the number of electrons each atom of the molecule can donate to reach a full valence shell. For example, Hydrogen = 1, Carbon = 4, Oxygen = -2 (since it receives electrons instead of donating), Nitrogen = -3. This value is the same as the charges of the elements.
After finding these values, calculate the sum of these values for all atoms of the molecule. For example, for ethanol (C2H5OH) = (2 x 4) + (5 x 1) + (1 x -2) + (1 x 1) = 12.
Secondly, divide this value by the number of Carbon atoms in the molecule. For ethanol (2 Carbon atoms), Degree of reduction = 12 / 2 = 6.
