Question

How to tell between a single, double, and triple bond?

Answer 1

In single bond, one electron of each atom share to form covalent bond. For example, C-H , in the formation of C-H single bond, one electron of Carbon shared with one electron of hydrogen to form single bond.

Double bond:- In the formation of double bond, two electrons of each atom shared to form covalent bond.

For example, C=C, both carbon atoms shared two electrons of each to form double bond.

Triple bond:- In the formation of triple bond, three electrons of each atom need to share.

For example:- CC, Three electrons of each carbon atom to form triple bond between carbon carbon.
