In a carbon double bond oxygen one bond is SIGMA is the another bond sigma or pi bond?

If it is a double bond: Yes!, e.g. in H2C=O (formaldehyde, methanal)
But in a single bond: No!, e.g. in H3C-O-H (methanol): Single bonds are sigma!

How many sigma bonds are present in acetylsalicylic acid?
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.
Why is a carbon to carbon double bond not twice as strong as a single carbon bond?
A double bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond, and a single bond consists of 1 sigma bond. Between a sigma bond and a pi bond, a sigma bond is stronger due to it's shorter bond length, thus, a C=C bond is not twice as strong as a C-C bond.
Does CO2 contain double covalent bond?
: : O=C=O : :Sure looks like two double, sigma and pi, bonds between the carbon and the two oxygen atoms. Those dots are the lone pairs, just not put in proper place, which is above and below the oxygen atoms.
Can carbon molecules rotate in a carbon carbon bond?
Yes, if it is a single (sigma bond). A double or triple (pi) bond cannot be rotated without breaking the bond.
How many sigma bonds in propene?
there are 6 sigma bonds in a benzene ring Correction: There are 6 sigma carbon-carbon bonds...but there are also 6 carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds. Thus there are twelve sigma bonds in a benzene ring.

What is the bond configuration - in terms of sigma and pi - of C-C double and triple bonds?
The Carbon-Carbon double bound consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 4 electrons.The Carbon-Carbon triple bound consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 6 electrons.Related Information:The Carbon-Carbon single bound consists of the sigma bond. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 2 electrons.Each Carbon-Carbon or Carbon-Hydrogen covalent bond is formed by 2 electrons in one 'hybrid' orbital.Hydrogen-Oxygen or Carbon-Oxygen bonds are polar-covalent bonds.
Why carbonyl group has only one sigma bond?
Carbonyl group consists of carbon attached to oxygen with double covalent bond in which one bond is formed head on and is the sigma bond(first bond formed in covalency is sigma), followed by lateral overlapping of orbitals to form pi bond with oxygen. The other two valencies of carbon are satisfied by sigma bonds each.
Exlain the term sigma and pi carbon carbon bonds with reference toethene molecule?
Sigma bonds are single bonds. pi bonds are double bonds. Ethene has a double bond. So between the two carbons, there is one sigma bond and one pi bond. Between the carbon and hydrogens, there is one sigma bond.
What is the total number of bonds formed by one of tha carbon atoms in a butane molecule?
In a butane molecule each of the carbon forms four sigma bonds .The terminal carbon forms three sigma bonds with hydrogen and one sigma bond with carbon and the rest of the each of the carbon atoms form two sigma bonds with carbon and two sigma bonds with hydrogen .In total there are thirteen butane molecules in a sigma bond

Does an oxygen molecule usually have 2 oxygen molecules?
O=O Yes, in it's natural gaseous state oxygen is diatomic. Two oxygen atoms joined by a double bond containing a sigma and pi double bond.

What types of bonds are present in the carbon carbon double bond?
One 'sigma' (normal, first, single) bond and one 'pi' bond (the unsaturated, stagnant, non rotatable)
