QUESTION:
How many carbon-carbon sigma bonds are present in each of the following molecules? (a) benzene, (b) cyclobutane, (c) 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Our question is how many carbon-carbon sigma bonds are present in each of the following molecules
(a) benzene, (b) cyclobutane, (c) 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane
Sigma bonds are formed by overlapping between orbitals.
When two atoms of some molecule are bonded together, there is one sigma bond between them.
In multiple bonds, there is also one sigma component and one(or two) pi component of this type of bond.
