The total number of CC sigma bond/s in mesityl oxide (C6H10O) is


Open in App
Solution

Sigma Bonds:

  • Atomic orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis must overlap head-on and positively (same phase) in order to produce this kind of covalent connection.
  • Because the participating orbitals directly overlap, sigma bonds are the strongest covalent bonds.
  • The term "electrons" is used to describe the electrons involved in a bond.

Mesityl Oxide:

  • Mesityl oxide is a common name of 4-Methylpent-3-en-2-one.
  • The structure of Mesityl oxide is:
  • Total 5 CC sigma bonds are formed.
