The number of sigma and pi bonds are,
Sigma Bonds = 16
Pi Bonds = 3
Explanation:
Every first bond formed between two atoms is sigma. Pi bond is formed when already a sigma bond is there. While in case of Alkyne (triple Bond) there is one sigma and one pi bond already present, so the third bond is formed by second side-to-side overlap of orbitals, hence, a second pi bond is formed.
Below all black bonds are sigma bonds, while in alkene there is one pi bond and in alkyne there are two pi bonds.
