A

two sigma bonds and two pi bonds

B

two sigma bonds and one pi bond

C

three sigma bonds and three pi bonds

D

three pi bonds only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The most likely Lewis structure of allene is

It has two double bonds between C atoms, i.e., the C atoms are joined by two sigma and two pi bonds.
