7 single bonds in total.

Explanation:

In 1 molecule of ethane, there are 6 × CH bonds, and 1 × CC bond. So 7 bonds exist in total. This would immediately be appreciated had I drawn out a skeletal formula of ethane. Can you tell me how many single bonds there are in a mole of ethane? How about the number of single bonds in 1 molecule of propane?
