DOU is no. of pi bonds + no. of rings present in the compound and it tells or gives an idea about the possible structure of the compuond so the DOU value for benzene is 4 as it has one ring and 3pi bonds so total is 4 and ans is 4

he molecular formula for benzene is C6H6Thus,

DoU= 4, where C=6, N=0,X=0, and H=6. 1 DoB can equal 1 ring or 1 double bond. This corresponds to benzene containing 1 ring and 3 double bonds.
