Question 52

The total number of 'Sigma' and Pi bonds in 2-formylhex-4-enoic acid is ______.


Correct Answer: 22

We need to find the total number of sigma ($$\sigma$$) and pi ($$\pi$$) bonds in 2-formylhex-4-enoic acid.

2-formylhex-4-enoic acid has a 6-carbon chain (hexanoic acid) with a formyl group ($$-CHO$$) at C2 and a double bond between C4 and C5.

Structure: $$CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-CH(CHO)-COOH$$

Structure of 2-formylhex-4-enoic acid

Every single bond is 1$$\sigma$$ bond, and every double bond contains 1$$\sigma$$ + 1$$\pi$$ bond.

C-C sigma bonds in main chain: C1-C2, C2-C3, C3-C4, C4=C5($$\sigma$$), C5-C6 = 5

C2-CHO branch: 1

In $$-COOH$$: C=O($$\sigma$$) + C-OH + O-H = 3

In $$-CHO$$: C=O($$\sigma$$) + C-H = 2

C-H bonds: C2(1H) + C3(2H) + C4(1H) + C5(1H) + C6(3H) = 8

Total $$\sigma$$ bonds = 5 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 8 = 19

C4=C5: 1$$\pi$$ bond

C=O in $$-COOH$$: 1$$\pi$$ bond

C=O in $$-CHO$$: 1$$\pi$$ bond

Total $$\pi$$ bonds = 3

Total = 19 + 3 = 22

The total number of sigma and pi bonds is $$\boxed{22}$$.
