Question 38
Number of $$\sigma$$ and $$\pi$$ bonds present in ethylene molecule is respectively :
Solution
Ethylene ($$C_2H_4$$) has the structure: $$H_2C=CH_2$$.
Counting sigma bonds:
- C-C bond: 1 sigma bond (part of the double bond)
- C-H bonds: 4 sigma bonds (2 on each carbon)
Total sigma bonds = 5.
Counting pi bonds:
- C=C double bond contains 1 pi bond
Total pi bonds = 1.
The correct answer is Option (4): 5 and 1.
