The ratio of sigma and π bonds present in pyrophosphoric acid is

The ratio of sigma and π\pi bonds present in pyrophosphoric acid isThe ratio of sigma and π bonds present in pyrophosphoric acid is

Correct answer

6

Step-by-step solution

To determine the ratio of sigma and pi bonds in pyrophosphoric acid, we first need to understand the molecular structure of the compound.

Pyrophosphoric acid has the chemical formula H4P2O7{H}_{4}{P}_{2}{O}_{7}. The molecule contains two phosphorus atoms, seven oxygen atoms, and four hydrogen atoms.

The structure of pyrophosphoric acid is
The ratio of sigma and π bonds present in pyrophosphoric acid is

It contains total 1212 sigma bonds and 22 pi bonds. So
No. ofσbondsNo. ofπbonds=122=6:1\dfrac{\text{No. of}\sigma\text{bonds}}{\text{No. of}\pi\text{bonds}} = \dfrac{12}{2} = 6: 1
