and 3 double bonds

Answer 3

thanks

Answer 4

btw number of H atoms is 6 if its just benzene

Answer 5

in your case its 'chloro' thus 5 H atoms and 1 Cl atom

Answer 6

so it is 7

Answer 7

no no
chlorobenzene
Carbon - 6
Hydrogen - 5
Chlorine - 1

that 1 chlorine replaces one of the hydrogens
thats why hydrogen number decreases by number of Cl atoms (that are substituting those H atoms)
