Total number of \(\sigma\) and \(\pi\) bonds in ethene molecule is

  1. A \(5 \sigma\) and \(1 \pi\) bonds
  2. B \(1 \sigma\) and \(2 \pi\) bonds
  3. C \(5 \sigma\) and \(2 \pi\) bonds
  4. D \(3 \sigma\) and \(1 \pi\) bonds
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \sigma\) and \(1 \pi\) bonds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The chemical formula of ethene is \(C_{2}H_{4}\). The structural formula is \(CH_{2}=CH_{2}\). In the molecule, there are four \(C-H\) single bonds and one \(C=C\) double bond. Each single bond consists of one \(\sigma\) bond. Thus, there are four \(\sigma\) bonds from the…
