Question

how many covalent bonds does Pentene have?
​

Answer 1

Pentene has 14 covalent bonds in it's chemical structure.

• Pentene is an organic chemical compound which has a common chemical structure of C5H10 with a double bond in it's chemical structure.

• Now,if we visualise the structure of pentene we will get that there are -

4 C - C covalent bonds. ( One of these bonds is double bond)

10 C - H covalent bonds.

• So,there will be a total of 14 covalent bonds in the whole chemical structure of the pentene.

Answer 2

Pentene has 16 covalent bonds.

Explanation:  

• Pentene is an alkene having 5 carbon atom and the presence of a double bond. Pentene may have many structural isomers. However the most common isomer is pent-1-ene.

• It's structure is $\bold{\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}}$. Here all the bonds are covalent in nature. So if we calculate the total number of bonds, it comes to 16.  

• The first carbon has 4 bonds, the second has 1, the third has four, the fourth carbon has two bond and the last carbon has four bonds.
