Chapter 3, Problem 3.15P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of $\text{π-}$ bonds and $\text{σ-}$ bonds present in cyclohexa $\text{-1, 4-}$ diene molecule is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Compounds are formed by bond formation between two atoms. There are three types of bonds formed to form compounds – single bond, double bond, and triple bond. Each single bond is a $\text{σ-}$ bond whereas each double bond composed of one $\text{π-}$ bond and one $\text{σ-}$ bond. A triple bond has two $\text{π-}$ bonds and one $\text{σ-}$ bond.
