Question

How many sigma and pi bonds are in the following molecules?

`NF_3`
`CS_2`
`ClF_5`
`HC Cl_3`
`XeF_2`

Answer 1

Below.

Explanation:

`NF_3 = 3sigma`

`CS_2 = 2sigma + 2pi`

`ClF_5 = 5sigma`

`H"C"Cl_3 = 4sigma`


`XeF_2 = 2sigma`

Imagine the structures in your head, using knowledge of how many bonds each atom can have. A single bond is a `sigma`, a double bond is `sigma + pi`, a triple bond is `sigma + 2pi`. Work with this information through each molecule and you should get the answers.
