Question
How many π bonds are present in a carbon-carbon triple bond?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
A triple bond consists of one σ bond (end-on overlap of sp hybrids) and two π bonds (sideways overlap of two sets of p orbitals).
Hint
Single bond = 1σ, double bond = 1σ+1π, triple bond = 1σ+2π.
