melamine polymers; it contains no multiple bonds.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b)

Step by step solution

01

Ethylenimine

Ethylenimine is also termed aziridine and possess a molecular formula(CH2)2NH.This compound has an importance in the medicinal chemistry.

02

Structure of ethylenimine

(b)The structure of the molecule can be drawn with the help of degree of unsaturation. The degree of unsaturation of the molecule can be given as:

Degreeofunsaturation=2C+2+N-H-X2=2×2+2+1-5-02=4+2+1-52=1

The degree of unsaturation of ethylenimine is one. From the question, the compound does not have multiple bonds. The compound ethylenimine contains one ring.

The structure of ethylenimine can be given as shown below.
