(ii) C6H12

There are six C-C sigma (σC-C) bonds and twelve C-H sigma (σC-H) bonds in this compound.



 

(iii) CH2Cl2

There two C-H sigma (σC-H) bonds and two C-Cl sigma (σC-Cl) bonds in this compound.

 

(iv) CH2=C=CH2

There are two C-C sigma (σC-C) bonds, four C-H sigma (σC-H) bonds, and two C=C pi (πC-C) bonds in this compound.

 

(v) CH3NO2

There are three C-H sigma (σC-H) bonds, one C-N sigma (σC-N) bond, one N-O sigma (σN-O) bond and one N=O pi (πN-O) bond in this compound.

 

(vi) HCONHCH3

There are two C-N sigma (σC-N) bonds, four C-H sigma (σC-H) bonds, one N-H sigma bond, and one C=O pi (πC-O) bond in this compound.
