Question

©How many covalent bonds are there in a butane molecule ?

Answer 1

There are thirteen bonds in one butane molecule. there are 3 carbon-carbon bonds and 10 carbon hydrogen bonds.

Answer 2

Hey there !!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Butane is an alkane with 4 carbons.

Formula of Alkanes is of the form CₓH₂ₓ₊₂

x denotes number of carbons

Butane : C₄H₈₊₂ = C₄H₁₀

C₄H₁₀ has 3 Carbon-Carbon bonds and 10 Hydrogen-Hydrogen Bonds

Total Covalent bonds = C-C bonds + H-H bonds

                                  = 3+10 =13 bonds

C₄H₁₀ has 13 covalent bonds.
