Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acrolein, with the formula CH2=CHCHO, contains 7 sigma ($\sigma$) bonds and 2 pi ($\pi$) bonds. The sigma bonds include 3 C-H bonds, 1 C-C single bond, 2 C=O (one sigma in each double bond), and 1 C=C (one sigma in the double bond). The pi bonds are in the C=C and C=O double bonds.
