Question

Total number of covalent bonds in C3O2

Answer 1

Answer : The Carbon suboxide molecule contains a total of 4 bonds .There are 4 non-H bonds ,4 multiple bonds and 4 double bonds

Answer 2

To find:

Number of covalent bonds in carbon suboxide (C3O2).

Solution:

First of all , we need to know the structural formula of carbon suboxide which is given as follows:

• Carbon suboxide has 3 carbon atoms and 2 oxygen atoms; all connected by double bonds

$\boxed{ \bf{ \red{O = C = C = C = O}}}$

Now , we can see that there are a total of 8 covalent bonds in carbon suboxide.

• Out of these 8 covalent bonds , there are 4 Sigma bonds and there are 4 Pi bonds.

So, final answer is:

$1)\:total \: bonds = 8 \\ 2)\:\sigma \: bonds = 4 \\ 3)\:\pi \: bonds = 4$
