The ratio of \(\sigma\) bonds to \(\pi\) bonds in Q is

  1. A \(3: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 3\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(2: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of \(\sigma\) bonds: \(5 \text{ (C-H)} + 2 \text{ (C-C single)} + 1 \text{ (from C=C)} + 1 \text{ (from C≡N)} = 9\) Number of \(\pi\) bonds: \(1 \text{ (from C=C)} + 2 \text{ (from C≡N)} = 3\) Ratio of \(\sigma\) bonds to \(\pi\) bonds \( = 9:3 = 3:1\)
