Question

What os the formula of allyl isocyanide? how many sigma and pi bonds are present in it

Answer 1

 CH2 = CH - CH2 - N ≡ C
-------------------------------------------------------------------

sigma bonds = 9
pi bonds = 3

Answer 2

Answer : The formula of allyl isocyanide is $H_2C=CH-CH_2-N\equiv C$ and the number of sigma and pi bonds are 9 and 3 respectively.

Explanation :

The given compound is, allyl isocyanide.

The formula of allyl isocyanide is, $H_2C=CH-CH_2-N\equiv C$

In the given compound, there are 7 single bonds, 1 double bond and 1 triple bond.

Sigma bonds : Sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bond. Sigma bonds are formed by the head-on overlapping between atomic orbitals.

pi bonds : pi bonds are covalent bonds in which the two lobes of an orbital on one atom overlap two lobes of an orbital on another atom and this overlap occurs laterally.

The double bond has 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond.

The triple bond has 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.

So, in the given compound allyl isocyanide the number of sigma and pi bonds are 9 and 3 respectively.
