Answer:

In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a common mnemonic for understanding notation conventions for vectors in 3 dimensions. It was invented for use in electromagnetism by British physicist John Ambrose Fleming in the late 19th century.

When choosing three vectors that must be at right angles to each other, there are two distinct solutions, so when expressing this idea in mathematics, one must remove the ambiguity of which solution is meant.

Answer:

In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a common mnemonic for understanding orientation of axes in three-dimensional space. Most of the various left- and right-hand rules arise from the fact that the three axes of three-dimensional space have two possible orientations

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.
