Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
A single bond contains one sigma bond.
A double bond contains one sigma and one pi bond.
A triple bond contains one sigma and two pi bonds.
A double bond contains one sigma and one pi bond.
A triple bond contains one sigma and two pi bonds.

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
Like the previous post says, to calculate the number of sigma bonds, count up all of the single bonds. For double bonds one of the bonds is a sigma bond and the other is a pi bond. For a triple bond one of the bonds is a sigma bond, and the other 2 are pi bonds.

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
A single bond always has one sigma bond
double bond always has one sigma bond and one pi bond
triple bond always has one sigma bond and 2 pi bonds
double bond always has one sigma bond and one pi bond
triple bond always has one sigma bond and 2 pi bonds

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
Every single bond is a sigma bond. A double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond. A triple bond contains one sigma bond and two pi bonds. With this information, it is possible to analyze a molecule's structure and determine the number of sigma and pi bonds.

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
Every molecule has at least one sigma bond. Every bond after a single bond is a pi bond. For example, a triple bond always has one sigma bond and 2 pi bonds

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
To calculate the number of sigma bonds, count the number of bonds in a molecule (counting all single, double, and triple bonds as equal). For pi bonds, every double bond should count as one bond, while every triple bond should count as two bonds.

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
For me, I kinda look at it like what's on the outside and the inside. It's best seen in triple bonds, but in double bonds, I see it as one outside and one inside.
Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
look for the bonds in the molecule to determine the amount of sigma and pi bonds. if there is a single bond, there is one sigma bond, double bond means there is one sigma and one pi, and a triple bond means there's one sigma and two pi
Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
How are we supposed to determine how many bonds (singular or double) each molecule has?

Re: Sigma and pi bond calculation
Hi 006020799,
When determining how many bonds each molecule has, a general rule is that the number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in a full valence electron shell (2 or 8) minus the number of valence electrons. For example, Carbon full electron shell can hold up to 8 valence electrons though it is only filled with 4 valence electrons in the neutral state. This Carbons typical number of bonds is 4.
