The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct regarding chemical bonding, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: All carbon to carbon bonds contain a sigma bond and one or more pi bonds.** - This statement is **incorrect**. While carbon-carbon double and triple bonds do contain both sigma and pi bonds, single carbon-carbon bonds (like in ethane, CH3-CH3) consist only of a sigma bond and no pi bonds. Therefore, not all carbon-carbon bonds contain pi bonds. 2. **Statement 2: All carbon to carbon bonds are sigma bonds.** - This statement is also **incorrect**. Although single carbon-carbon bonds are indeed sigma bonds, double bonds (like in ethene, CH2=CH2) consist of one sigma bond and one pi bond. Hence, not all carbon-carbon bonds are purely sigma bonds. 3. **Statement 3: All oxygen to hydrogen bonds are hydrogen bonds.** - This statement is **incorrect**. While hydrogen bonds can form between water molecules (where an oxygen atom of one water molecule interacts with a hydrogen atom of another), the bond between oxygen and hydrogen in water (H2O) is a covalent bond. Therefore, not all oxygen-hydrogen bonds are hydrogen bonds. 4. **Statement 4: All carbon to hydrogen bonds are sigma bonds.** - This statement is **correct**. In all carbon-hydrogen bonds, the bond formed is a sigma bond. Carbon can only form a sigma bond with hydrogen because hydrogen has only one electron to share, and thus cannot form pi bonds with carbon. ### Conclusion: The only correct statement is **Statement 4**: All carbon to hydrogen bonds are sigma bonds. ### Final Answer: **Only Statement 4 is correct.** ---
