a covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
A double bond is formed when a pi bond is superimposed on a single bond; adding a second pi bond results in a triple bond. The two pi bonds have perpendicular nodal planes, and their sum has roughly cylindrical symmetry, permitting rotation in much the same manner as a single bond.
triple covalent bond: covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
a chemical bond caused by the action of three pairs of electrons instead of just one
a covalent bond formed by the sharing of three pairs of electrons
The sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms.
Three shared pairs of electrons.
Three shared electrons Back to .
() covalent bond that involves 3 bonding pairs. In the valence bond theory, one of the bonds in a triple bond is a sigma bond and the other two are pi bonds. For example, the central bond in acetylene is a triple bond: H-C C-H.
a bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons.
