Question

no.of sigma bonds and pi bonds in anthracene​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anthracene contain ( 26 sigma) and ( 7 pi) bonds

Explanation:

Anthracene is tricyclic aromatic compound in which 7 double bond and 9 single bond are present between carbon atom, so in pi bond the first bond will be sigma and second will be pi thus 7 PI BOND are present. For sigma bond we have 9 single bond ( sigma bond) and 7 sigma bond in double bond ( first bond in double bond is sigma) and 10 carbon atom forms sigma bond with hydrogen rest 4 carbon of anthracene will join rings so total sigma bond will be:                                                                                                                                        9+7+10=26 sigma bond
