Ammong the following the one which can exist in free state as a stable compound is:

A

`C_(7)H_(9)O`

B

`C_(8)H_(12)O`

C

`C_(6)H_(11)O`

D

`C_(10)H_(17)O_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A stable compound has a whole number value of DBE. For example,
DBE of `C_(8)H_(12)O`
`= (8(4-2)+12(1-2)+1(2-2))/(2) +1=2+1 = 3`
All other formulae have fractional values of DBE, i.e., `C_(7)H_(9)O, C_(6)H_(11)O` and `C_(10)H_(17)O_(2)` are 3.5, 3.5 and 2.5 respectively.
