Question

How many s and p bonds are present in toluene?
(a) 3π + 8σ (b) 3π + 10σ
(c) 3π + 15σ (d) 6π + 3σ

Answer 1

Answer:

Option c is correct

Explanation:

There are totally 15 sigma and 3 pi bonds in toulene

Answer 2

Toluene has 3 pi bonds and 15 sigma bonds.

Explanation:

• The general concept involved is the first bond formed between carbon and another atom in the structure of the compounds, it is called a sigma bond.
• On the other hand, the double and triple bond which carbon forms with other atoms, it is called a pi bond.
• When the structure of toluene given in the attachment is examined, it is evident that double bond is present between $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ carbon, $4^{th}$and $5^{th}$ carbon and $6^{th}$ and $1^{st}$ carbons.
• Apart from the mentioned carbons, all other carbons have a single bond.
• The total number of bonds present in toluene is 18, out of which 3 are pi and 15 are sigma.
• Thus it is inferred that in toluene there are 3 pi bonds and 15 sigma bonds present.
• Hence option (c) $3\pi+15\sigma$ is considered as correct option for the given question.
