Mar 7, 2017

There are 23 σ bonds in a molecule of 2-propylpent-1-ene.

Explanation:

The structural formula of 2-propylpent-1-ene is

2Pr

Every $C-C$ $"C-C"$ and every $C-H$ $"C-H"$ single bond is a σ bond.

Every $C=C$ $"C=C"$ double bond consists of a σ bond and a π bond.

There are 6 $C-C$ $"C-C"$ bonds, 16 $C-H$ $"C-H"$ bonds, and 1 $C=C$ $"C=C"$ bond.

Thus, there are 23 σ bonds in the molecule.
