Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peroxyacetylnitrate has 10 sigma ($ \sigma $) bonds and 2 pi ($ \pi $) bonds. Sigma bonds are single covalent bonds that occur along the axis between the nuclei of atoms, while pi bonds are additional bonds that form above and below this axis. In peroxyacetylnitrate, the sigma bonds include single bonds between carbon and hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, and the nitrogen-oxygen single bonds. The pi bonds are found in the carbon-oxygen double bond and the nitrogen-oxygen double bond.
