- A. 4
- B. 6
- C. 5
- D. 3
Correct Answer: A. 4
Explanation
In an alkene with six carbon atoms, there are 5 sigma (α) bonds (single bonds) between the carbon atoms. Additionally, there are 4 pi (π) bonds associated with the double bonds between the carbon atoms.
(CxHy) is the general formula for alkene, [(3Y/2)-2] is the formula used to get pi (π) bonds that is present in alkene with six carbon atoms.
