What is the number of sigma and pie bonds respectively in the following compounds: 1.Benzene 2. Nepthelne 3. Anthracene.
Hello!
Considering all the single and double(C-C and C-H) bonds for sigma and double bonds for pi in structures of Benzene-C6H6, Napthalene-C10H8 and Anthracene-C14H10 we get the following results
- There are 3+9=12 sigma and 3 pi bonds in Benzene.
- There are 5+6+8=19 sigma and 5 pi bonds in Napthalene.
- There are 24+3-1=26 sigma and 7 pi bonds in Anthracene.
Hope this helps you!
