How many pi (\(\pi\)) bonds are there in an alkene with six carbon atoms?
1
6
5
3

Explanation

The alkene with six carbon atoms is hexene with the formula C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\).Hexene is an alkene, which means it has one carbon-carbon double bond,C=C and each double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond. 

  • A single bond is a sigma bond. 
  • A double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond. 
  • A triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
