The total number of C-C sigma bonds in phenylethene is 6. This is because phenylethene, also known as styrene, has 6 carbon atoms and each carbon atom forms a single bond with the adjacent carbon atom, resulting in 6 C-C sigma bonds.
Phenylethene has a linear structure, with a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms and a single bond between the second and third carbon atoms. The remaining carbon atoms are connected by single bonds, resulting in a total of 6 C-C sigma bonds.
The C-C sigma bonds in phenylethene contribute to its stability by providing strong covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. The presence of a double bond also results in a rigid planar structure, making the molecule more stable.
No, the number of C-C sigma bonds in phenylethene is fixed at 6 due to its molecular structure. The only way to change the number of C-C sigma bonds would be to alter the structure of the molecule itself.
The number of C-C sigma bonds in phenylethene affects its physical and chemical properties by influencing its reactivity and stability. The presence of 6 strong C-C bonds makes phenylethene less reactive and more stable compared to molecules with fewer C-C bonds.
