The ratio of sigma to pi electrons in benzene is?
Correct answer: C. 4:1
- A. 1:3
- B. 3:1
- C. 4:1
- D. 1:4
Explanation
The ratio of sigma to pi bonds in benzene is 4:1. Benzene has molecular formula C6H6, 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. So, there are a total of 12σ bonds and 3π bonds in benzene.
