How many rings does an alkane have if its formula is c10h16?

If it is saturated compound then we can calculate the double bond equivalent which will be equal to the number of rings in the compound

the double bond equivalent can be calculated using following formula

Where

H = number of Hydrogen atoms

C = number of carbon atoms

X= number of halogen atoms

N = number of nitrogen atoms

DBE = (10 + 1  - 16 / 2 ) = 3

Hence there are three rings in the compound

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
