Detailed Solution

In the ethene molecule (C2H4), the total number of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds is 5 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond.

  • Structure: Each carbon is sp2 hybridized, forming three sigma bonds (2 with H, 1 with C).
  • The double bond between the carbons consists of one sigma and one pi bond.

Total:

  • Sigma bonds: 4 C-H + 1 C-C = 5
  • Pi bonds: 1 C-C = 1

So, ethene molecule has 5 sigma and 1 pi bond.
