The number of sigma (σ) and pi (π ) bonds present in 3-Methylbut-1-ene are respectively

  • A.1 and 14
  • B.18 and 2
  • C.16 and 2
  • D.17 and 1
  • E.14 and 1

Answer: E

There are 14 and 1 sigma and pi bonds.

3-Methylbut-1-ene is \(CH_{2}=CH-CH(CH_{3})-CH_{3}\), formula \(C_{5}H_{10}\).

\[ \begin{aligned} \sigma(\text{C-H}) &= 10 \\ \sigma(\text{C-C}) &= 4 \\ \text{total } \sigma &= 14,\quad \pi = 1 \end{aligned} \]

The single C=C double bond is one sigma plus one pi bond (its sigma is counted among the 4 C-C bonds). Options with 2 pi bonds would need a diene or alkyne, and 1 and 14 swaps the numbers.
