26 sigma 7 pi
In a triple bond between two atoms, a total of six valence electrons are involved. Each atom contributes three valence electrons, resulting in three shared pairs of electrons. This type of bond is characterized by one sigma bond and two pi bonds, allowing for a strong and stable connection between the atoms.
You can think of pi bonds in the terms of pi electrons as well which will become more important in terms of aromaticity. A Triple bond has 1 sigma bond & 2 pi bonds. There are 6 electrons in a triple bond; 2 sigma electrons and 4 pi electrons. The two unhybridized p orbitals on each atom on either side of the triple bond are perpendicular to each other. So, if you are trying to determine the number of pi electrons in an aromatic monocyclic compound and you have an uninterrupted combination of sp & sp2 orbitals (sp3 does not have p orbitals), whenever you come across a triple bond you would add 4 pi electrons and for a double bond you would add 2 pi electrons. The important thing to remember though is if the question asks for the number of electrons delocalized in the ring because of the aforementioned p orbitals in a triple bond being perpendicular only 2 of the 4 available pi electrons would delocalize in the ring. The really dirty trick is that Huckel's rule applies to electrons in the cloud, delocalized electrons.
Carbon forms 4 covalent bonds because it has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. By sharing electrons with other atoms, carbon can achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons, following the octet rule and becoming more stable. This allows carbon to bond with a variety of other elements to form a wide range of compounds.
Yes, the pi bonding electrons in benzene are delocalized over the entire carbon ring. This leads to a more stable structure and contributes to the aromaticity of benzene.

In the chemical formula C14H10, there are 24 sigma bonds and 10 pi bonds. Sigma bonds are single bonds between atoms or within a ring, while pi bonds are double or triple bonds formed by the overlap of p orbitals.
pi bonding
In a triple bond between two atoms, a total of six valence electrons take part. Two electrons come from each atom to form the sigma bond, and the remaining four electrons form two pi bonds.
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
A double bond contains 2 pi electrons.
In a triple bond between two atoms, a total of six valence electrons are involved. Each atom contributes three valence electrons, resulting in three shared pairs of electrons. This type of bond is characterized by one sigma bond and two pi bonds, allowing for a strong and stable connection between the atoms.
If I understand the theory correctly, then it is safe to assume that any molecular bond is based on the valence system. Valence bonding occurs when orbitals of electrons are slightly overlapped. Your question should rather be 'what kind of valence bond occured in the bond. There are 2 types namely sigma and pi. Sigma bonds occur when the orbitals of two shared electrons overlap head-to-head. Pi bonds occur when two orbitals overlap when they are parallel (wikipedia). So it is safe to assume that any bond that is covalent can be described using valence theory.
To determine the number of pi electrons in a molecule, count the total number of electrons in the pi bonds and lone pairs that are part of the pi system. Pi electrons are the electrons involved in pi bonds, which are formed by the overlap of p orbitals. Lone pairs in conjugated systems also contribute to the number of pi electrons.
In a triple bond, a total of six electrons are shared between two atoms. Each atom contributes one electron for a sigma bond, and two atoms contribute two electrons each for two pi bonds.
In XeF4, xenon has six valence electrons, each fluorine contributes one. Xenon forms four single bonds with the fluorine atoms, which account for four sigma bonds. There are no pi bonds present in XeF4 as it does not have any double or triple bonds.
Boron trichloride (BCl3) does not form a pi bond because boron lacks a complete octet of electrons in its valence shell, so it cannot accommodate the formation of pi bonds. BCl3 instead forms three polar covalent bonds by sharing electrons with three chlorine atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
