An unknown organic compound is found to have the molecular formula . Based on this molecular formula — Isomerism and Stereochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

For $C_4H_{10}O$, DU = $4 + 1 - 10/2 = 0$. A DU of 0 means the compound is fully saturated and acyclic (no rings, no pi bonds), making option A true and option B false. Without pi bonds, it cannot form an aldehyde or ketone (which require a C=O double bond, DU=1), making option D false. It can form saturated alcohols ($R-OH$) and saturated ethers ($R-O-R'$), making option C true.
