Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that a covalent bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.
Recall that a single bond corresponds to the sharing of 2 electrons (1 pair), a double bond corresponds to 4 electrons (2 pairs), and a triple bond corresponds to 6 electrons (3 pairs).
Recognize that each bond in a multiple bond consists of one pair of shared electrons.
Since a triple bond has three pairs of shared electrons, multiply the number of pairs by 2 to find the total electrons shared: \(3 \times 2\).
Conclude that the total number of electrons shared in a triple bond is 6.
