The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds in the compound \( HC \equiv C - CH = CH_2 \), we will analyze the structure of the compound step by step. ### Step 1: Draw the Structure The compound can be represented as follows: - The first carbon (C1) is connected to one hydrogen (H) and has a triple bond with the second carbon (C2). - The second carbon (C2) is connected to C1 with a triple bond and to the third carbon (C3) with a single bond. - The third carbon (C3) is connected to C2 with a single bond and has a double bond with the fourth carbon (C4). - The fourth carbon (C4) is connected to C3 with a double bond and has two hydrogens (H). The structure can be visualized as: ``` H H | | H - C ≡ C - C = C - H ``` ### Step 2: Count the Sigma Bonds - Each single bond (C-H or C-C) is a sigma bond. - Each double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond. - Each triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. Now, let's count: 1. **C1 to H**: 1 σ bond 2. **C1 to C2 (triple bond)**: 1 σ bond 3. **C2 to C3**: 1 σ bond 4. **C3 to C4 (double bond)**: 1 σ bond 5. **C4 to H**: 1 σ bond Total σ bonds: - From C1 to H: 1 - From C1 to C2: 1 - From C2 to C3: 1 - From C3 to C4: 1 - From C4 to H: 1 Total σ bonds = 5 ### Step 3: Count the Pi Bonds Now, let's count the pi bonds: 1. **C1 to C2 (triple bond)**: 2 π bonds 2. **C3 to C4 (double bond)**: 1 π bond Total π bonds: - From C1 to C2: 2 - From C3 to C4: 1 Total π bonds = 3 ### Final Count - Total σ bonds = 5 - Total π bonds = 3 ### Conclusion The compound \( HC \equiv C - CH = CH_2 \) has **5 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds**.
