How do I find the amount of Sigma and Pi bonds?
« on: October 02, 2019, 09:24:17 AM »
Ok so like basically I’ve been trying to understand how to find the bonds since day 1 of this unit and I still have 0 idea how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Easy rule of thumb: single bonds are sigma bonds. Double and triple bonds have one sigma bond and the remainder are pi bonds.
