Questions: How many s-sp3 bonds are there in the following substance?

Transcript text: How many $s-s p^{3}$ bonds are there in the following substance?

Solution

Step 1: Identify sp3 Hybridized Carbons

In the given structure, identify all the carbon atoms that are sp3 hybridized. These are the carbon atoms that form four single bonds.

Step 2: Count s-sp3 Bonds

Count the number of bonds between hydrogen atoms (s-orbital) and the sp3 hybridized carbon atoms identified in Step 1.

Step 3: Verify and Sum Up

Verify the count of s-sp3 bonds by ensuring all sp3 hybridized carbons have been considered and sum up the total number of s-sp3 bonds.

The number of s-sp3 bonds in the given substance is 9.
