The total number of σ and π - bonds present in the following compound are
Options
- Aσ = 18 ,   π = 3
- Bσ = 21 ,   π = 4
- Cσ = 23 ,   π = 5
- Dσ = 16 ,   π = 4
Correct answer
B. σ = 21 ,   π = 4
Step-by-step solution
Count the single bonds and double bonds. Single bonds are called σ - bonds and double bond contain one σ - bond and a π - bond. Benzene ring contain three pi bonds in the ring and one more pi bond is carbonyl group of ester. Remaining all are sigma bonds.
