Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
In acetylene molecule, between the carbon atoms there are
A
three sigma bonds
B
two sigma and one pi bonds
C
one sigma and two pi bonds
D
three pi bonds
Answer
one sigma and two pi bonds
Explanation
Solution
The structure of acetylene is {H - C \overset{{1 \sigma}}{ {\equiv }} \underset{{ 2 \pi}}{ { \equiv }} 1 \sigma 2\pi C - H } Hence, in acetylene molecule, there are one sigma and two pi bonds are present between carbon atoms.
