How many sigma and pie bonds are there in CH3CHCHCO2H? 3
Nobody understands this yet. I'll sketch here as much as I can.
C C = C C = O
So I put carbon there with a double bond. We have two double bonds, one between two carbons and one between carbon and oxygen.
The first carbon also has 3 H,
The other has 1 H.
The third is 1 H.
And the fourth carbon also has OH.
Remember that every double bond also has a sigma bond.
There are 11 Sigma Bonds and 2 Pie Bonds.
There are 11 Sigma Bonds and 2 Pie Bonds.
The easiest way to solve this is to draw the Lewis structure of your molecule on it. Each link is a sigma link. For double and triple bonds, each bond is a pie bond after the first bond.
My answer is link 9 sigma, link 3 pi.

Sigma bond is single bond and pie bond is double bond.
So 11 Sigma bonds and 2 pie bonds.
