Question

How many sigma and pi bonds present in C₂H₂molecule ?

Answer 1

Answer:

⇒ Three sigma(σ) and Two pi(π) bonds in C₂H₂ molecule

$\rm{\red{\boxed{\boxed{\;C_2H_2\;}}}}$

→ IUPAC NAME: Ethyne

→ Common name: Acetylene

The three sigma bonds are,

• 2 x C-H bonds
• 1 x C-C bond

Therefore, 2 + 1 = 3 σ bonds

The two pi bonds are,

• 2 x C-C bonds

Therefore, 2 π bonds

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

⇒ Three sigma(σ) and Two pi(π) bonds in C₂H₂ molecule

→ IUPAC NAME: Ethyne

→ Common name: Acetylene

The three sigma bonds are,

2 x C-H bonds

1 x C-C bond

Therefore, 2 + 1 = 3 σ bonds

The two pi bonds are,

2 x C-C bonds

Therefore, 2 π bonds
