Calculate the number of bonds and bonds in the molecule:
Correct answer: A. 1π and 5σ bonds
- A. 1π and 5σ bonds
- B. 2π and 4σ bonds
- C. 3π and 3σ bonds
- D. 6π and 6σ bonds
Explanation
The given structure is ethene; we know ethene forms a double bond. Carbon can form four bonds in ethene; each carbon forms three sigma bonds, two with hydrogen and one with the other carbon, and it forms one pie bond with the other carbon. So there will be a total of 5 sigmas and 1 pie bond.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
