No, pi bonds are generally more nucleophilic than sigma bonds because of the electron density distribution along the pi bonds, which allows for better overlap with nucleophilic species. Sigma bonds, on the other hand, are more localized between bonding atoms and have lower electron density, making them less reactive towards electrophiles.
Three bonds. One sigma bond and two pi bonds. A lot of energy tied up in those bonds which is why many explosives are nitrogen containing.
In 1,3-butadiene, there are 3 σ bonds (single bonds) and 2 π bonds (double bonds). The two π bonds are formed by the overlapping of p orbitals in the carbon atoms.
A molecule of ethene contains 6 covalent bonds, namely 5 sigma bonds and a pi bond.
There are 8 sigma bonds in a potassium oxalate molecule. These sigma bonds form between the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the oxalate ion, as well as between the potassium and oxygen atoms in the potassium cation.
