Given information

The structure is:

Molecular Structure of Caffeine - Chemistry Stack Exchange

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The structure of Caffeine is,

                                

A sigma bond is formed by head-on overlapping of atomic orbitals, whereas a pi bond is formed by sideways overlapping of atomic orbitals. 

To calculate the number of bonds in a molecule:

   

   

     
 
The number of single bonds present in the structure of Caffeine is , each having one sigma bond.
The number of double bonds present in the structure of Caffeine is , each having one sigma and one pi bond.
