Degree of Unsaturation Calculator
A degree of unsaturation calculator helps find rings and pi bonds in an organic molecule. It uses the molecular formula, not the molecular weight. unsaturation.Oxygen is divalent. Any divalent atom has no impact on the degree of unsaturation.

Degree of Unsaturation:
4.0
DU = (2C + 2 - H - X + N) / 2
Formula Explanation
The formula for calculating degree of unsaturation is:
DU = (2C + 2 - H - X + N) / 2
Where:
- C = Number of carbon atoms
- H = Number of hydrogen atoms
- X = Number of halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I)
- N = Number of nitrogen atoms
