Which compound contains both sigma and pi bonds?

Answer
A
HCCl3
B
H2CO
C
H2S
D
HBr

Explanation

A double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond. In H₂CO, carbon and oxygen are joined by a double bond, so the compound contains both types; its C–H bonds are sigma bonds. HCCl₃, H₂S, and HBr have only single bonds, which are sigma bonds.
