Correct answer: C

  1. Write the structure of hex-1-en-4-yne

Hex-1-en-4-yne means a 6-carbon chain with:

  • a double bond between C1 and C2
  • a triple bond between C4 and C5

So the structure is:

CH2=CH−CH2−C≡C−CH3\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{CH}_3CH2​=CH−CH2​−C≡C−CH3​
  1. Count the π\piπ bonds
  • One double bond contains 1π1\pi1π bond.
  • One triple bond contains 2π2\pi2π bonds.

So total π\piπ bonds:

1+2=31+2=31+2=3
  1. Count the σ\sigmaσ bonds

Every single bond is one σ\sigmaσ bond, and each multiple bond also contains one σ\sigmaσ bond.

(a) C–C bonds

There are 6 carbons in a chain, so total C–C connections are 5:

  • C1=C2\text{C}_1=\text{C}_2C1​=C2​ contributes 1σ1\sigma1σ
  • C2−C3\text{C}_2-\text{C}_3C2​−C3​ contributes 1σ1\sigma1σ
  • C3−C4\text{C}_3-\text{C}_4C3​−C4​ contributes 1σ1\sigma1σ
  • C4≡C5\text{C}_4\equiv\text{C}_5C4​≡C5​ contributes 1σ1\sigma1σ
  • C5−C6\text{C}_5-\text{C}_6C5​−C6​ contributes 1σ1\sigma1σ

So C–C sigma bonds =

555

(b) C–H bonds

Now count hydrogens:

  • C1=CH2\text{C}_1 = \text{CH}_2C1​=CH2​ gives 2 C–H bonds
  • C2=CH\text{C}_2 = \text{CH}C2​=CH gives 1 C–H bond
  • C3=CH2\text{C}_3 = \text{CH}_2C3​=CH2​ gives 2 C–H bonds
  • C4\text{C}_4C4​ in triple bond gives 0 H
  • C5\text{C}_5C5​ in triple bond gives 0 H
  • C6=CH3\text{C}_6 = \text{CH}_3C6​=CH3​ gives 3 C–H bonds

Total C–H sigma bonds:

2+1+2+0+0+3=82+1+2+0+0+3=82+1+2+0+0+3=8

(c) Total sigma bonds

σ=5+8=13\sigma = 5+8=13σ=5+8=13
  1. Final answer
σ=13,π=3\sigma = 13, \qquad \pi = 3σ=13,π=3

So the correct option is:

C: 13 and 3
