Video transcript

Hello. In this problem, we are asked based on the structure below to determine the number of pi bonds present in a Listerine, A single bond he's made up of a sigma bond and a double bond Contains 1 σ bond, one pi bond. So to determine the number of pi bonds, we need to count up the number of double bonds, so we have double bonds, so that means that we have eight pythons. This then corresponds to answer C. Thanks for watching. Hope. This helped.

Textbook Question

Most vitamins can be classified as either fat soluble, which results in their tendency to accumulate in the body (so that taking too much can be harmful), or water soluble, which results in their tendency to be quickly eliminated from the body in urine. Examine the structural formulas and space-filling models of these vitamins and determine whether each one is fat soluble (mostly nonpolar) or water soluble (mostly polar). (a) vitamin C
