Hey everyone! So here it says, the structure of pathetic acid is shown below the term of the number of pI bonds present, empathetic acid. So remember A single bond is composed of Οƒ bond. A double bond is composed of one sigma And one pi bond. Right, so either one of these could be your pi bond. And then a triple bond is composed of one sigma And two Pi bonds. So if we take a look here, we have a lot of single and double bonds present. So here we have one, two, three, four, five, five double bonds involved. So that's five pi bonds. Okay, so pathologist acid has within it five pi bonds.
