There are 29 bonds in caffeine! How did I get my answer?
The chemical formula for caffeine is C8H10N4O2
1. Count total octet electrons
64+20+32+16=132
2. Count the # of valence electrons in the molecule.
32+10+20+12=74
3. Subtract valence electrons from octet electrons
132-74=58
4. Divide the bonding electrons by 2 to find the number of bonds.
58/2=29
What else can I help you with?
What ions will caffeine bond with?
Caffeine will typically bond with ionic bonds. It will not bond with covalent bonds because covalent bonds only bond with other metals.
What type of chemical bond is caffeine?
Covalent bonds
How any sigma bonds are in caffeine?

Do caffeine molecules have polar bonds?
According to edexcel mark scheme, caffeine has both London forces and permanent dipole forces.
How many pi bonds are present in caffeine?
Epinephrine or also known as adrenaline contains 6 pi bonds. Epinephrine is a naturally occurring hormone that is also commercially manufactured for use as heart stimulant.
Is caffeine the result of ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
Caffeine is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms that form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Is caffeine covalent or polar covalent?
Caffeine is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together by polar covalent bonds. This is because the atoms involved in the bonds have different electronegativities, causing an uneven distribution of electrons, which results in a polar molecule overall.
Can caffeine form Hydrogen bond?
I looked at the structure and it has two Carbonyl groups, C=O, so perhaps that oxygen can hydrogen bond with hydrogen on water, It also has three methyl groups, CH3, which are nonpolar, so I do not know how soluble caffeine is in water, but it surely is in coffee which is mostly water.
How many hydrogen atoms does caffeine has?
To answer your question on how many hydrogen atoms are there in caffeine, the scientific answer would be 10 atoms of hydrogen.
How many types of caffeine are there?
Caffeine has only one formula: C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ There are, however many, many, many different sources of caffeine; more than 60 plants are known to contain caffeine naturally including coffee beans, tea leaves, and kola nuts.
Is caffeine polar nonpolar or ionic Why do you conclude this way?
In fact you can call caffeine both polar and nonpolar, as caffeine (or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) consist of both polar and nonpolar components.. On the internet I've seen a lot of people using caffeines ability to disolve in water as an argument for it to be polar.. This is not a good argument though, as caffeine in fact disolves in oils too due to the nonpolarity which I mentioned..
How many moles of caffeine C8H10O2N4 are contained in a 100. mg sample of caffeine?
The answer is 5,15.1e-4.
