How many pi (\(\pi\)) bonds are there in an alkene with six carbon atoms?
-
1
- 6
- 5
- 3
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
The alkene with six carbon atoms is hexene with the formula C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\).Hexene is an alkene, which means it has one carbon-carbon double bond,C=C and each double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
- A single bond is a sigma bond.
- A double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
- A triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
