Methanoic acid, better known by its common name formic acid, contains four sigma bonds. The first is between the carbonyl carbon (the one double bound to the oxygen) and the hydrogen atom. The second is between the carbonyl carbon and the oxygen in the hydroxide group. The third is the sigma bond between the carbonyl carbon and the double bound oxygen (this bond also contains a pi bond). The fourth and final sigma bond is between the oxygen and the hydrogen of the hydroxide group.
