Question

Focus on the C atom on the left as the central atom.  How many other atoms are directly bonded to this C atom?

How many bonding domains are there on the C atom on the left?

How many lone pairs of electrons are there on the C atom on the left?

How many nonbonding domains are there on the C atom on the left?
 
The image depicts the chemical structure of acetylene, a simple alkyne. The structure is:

H-C≡C-H

Explanation of the diagram:
- The molecule consists of two carbon atoms connected by a triple bond, represented by three parallel lines (≡).
- Each carbon atom is also bonded to a single hydrogen atom, indicated by the single line between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
- Acetylene is a hydrocarbon known for its use as a fuel and a building block in organic synthesis. The triple bond gives the molecule a linear shape.
