(a)

(b)

                                        Quetiapine(Seroquel)

(c)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(c)

The number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon is 13.

Step 1: Given compound

In the given compound, one carbon atom is bonded to a methyl group, and another carbon is bonded to oxygen by a double bond. The structure is represented as:

                        Number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon is 13

Step 2: Number of hydrogen atoms in compound

The compound contains 9 carbon atoms,13 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C₉H₁₃O .The total number of hydrogen atoms bonded is 13.
