Question

What is the ratio of the pi bonds to sigma bonds in diphenyl ethers? ​

Answer 1

The ratio of σ and π bonds in benzene is 4:1. Benzene has molecular formula C

6

H

6

so there is the presence of one double bond in between alternate carbon atoms and each carbon is attached to two carbon atoms by means of a single bond and a double bond and a hydrogen atom by a single bond. This we can observe by seeing its structure So there are a total of 12 σ bonds and 3 π bonds in benzene. It is 4:1.
