C13H20O

C13H20O represents a chemical formula indicating a molecule composed of 13 carbon atoms, 20 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom. This formula is not specific to a single compound; rather, it represents a family of organic compounds known as isomers. Different structural arrangements of these atoms will result in different compounds with varying physical and chemical properties.

Without further spectroscopic data (e.g., NMR, IR, Mass Spectrometry) or knowledge of its origin or synthesis, it is impossible to determine the exact identity of the compound represented by C13H20O. The compound could potentially be an alcohol, an ether, a ketone, an aldehyde, or a cyclic compound containing an oxygen atom. The degree of unsaturation (number of rings and/or pi bonds) can be calculated to help narrow down the possibilities, however. The formula indicates a degree of unsaturation of four.

Due to the multitude of possible structures, the specific reactivity, uses, and toxicity of a compound with the formula C13H20O are entirely dependent on its precise molecular structure.
