Interpretation:
No. of sigma and pi bonds in an ethyne molecule is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Sigma bond: These are the strongest type of covalent bond because they are formed by head-to-head overlapping of atomic orbitals.
Pi-bond: These bonds are relatively weaker and are formed by side-by-side overlapping of atomic orbitals. The electrons that participate in pi bond formation are referred to as pi electrons.
Answer to Problem 27LC
There will be
Explanation of Solution
We will draw the structure of ethyne molecules:
Each of the atoms is connected to at least one single bond which will be a sigma and pi-bond.
Therefore, there are three sigma bonds and two pi-bonds in ethyne.
Sigma and pi bonds are among the types of covalent bonds that can be distinguished by the type of overlap between
