Question

Count the number of $\sigma$ and $\pi$ bonds in the compound below:

• A. 15, 2
• B. 14, 3
• C. 6, 2
• D. 13, 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 14, 3

A double bond contains $1\sigma$ and $1\pi$ bond whereas a triple bond contains $1\sigma$ and $2\pi$ bonds.
Therefore, the total number of $\sigma$ bonds will be $14$ and that of $\pi$ bond will be $3$.
