The correct Answer is:
To determine the ratio of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds in the given compounds, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Tetracyanomethane (C(CN)4) 1. **Structure**: Tetracyanomethane consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four cyano (CN) groups. 2. **Bonds**: Each CN bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds. 3. **Counting Bonds**: - **Sigma Bonds**: 4 (one from each CN) - **Pi Bonds**: 8 (2 from each CN, 2 x 4 = 8) 4. **Ratio**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Sigma Bonds}}{\text{Pi Bonds}} = \frac{4}{8} = 0.5 \] ### Step 2: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 1. **Structure**: Carbon dioxide consists of a central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. 2. **Bonds**: Each double bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond. 3. **Counting Bonds**: - **Sigma Bonds**: 2 (one from each CO bond) - **Pi Bonds**: 2 (one from each CO bond) 4. **Ratio**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Benzene (C6H6) 1. **Structure**: Benzene has a hexagonal ring structure with alternating double bonds. 2. **Bonds**: Each carbon-carbon bond in benzene is a sigma bond, and there are 3 pi bonds due to the double bonds. 3. **Counting Bonds**: - **Sigma Bonds**: 6 (C-C bonds) + 6 (C-H bonds) = 12 - **Pi Bonds**: 3 (one for each double bond) 4. **Ratio**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \] ### Step 4: 1,3-Butadiene (C4H6) 1. **Structure**: 1,3-butadiene has a linear structure with two double bonds between the first and second, and the third and fourth carbons. 2. **Bonds**: Each double bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond. 3. **Counting Bonds**: - **Sigma Bonds**: 3 (C-C bonds) + 6 (C-H bonds) = 9 - **Pi Bonds**: 2 (one for each double bond) 4. **Ratio**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \] ### Summary of Ratios - Tetracyanomethane: 0.5 - Carbon Dioxide: 1 - Benzene: 4 - 1,3-Butadiene: 4.5 ### Final Order of Ratios The order of the ratios of sigma to pi bonds is: 1. Tetracyanomethane: 0.5 2. Carbon Dioxide: 1 3. Benzene: 4 4. 1,3-Butadiene: 4.5 ### Conclusion The ratio of sigma to pi bonds in order is: **Tetracyanomethane < Carbon Dioxide < Benzene < 1,3-Butadiene**
