Question

The number of electron pairs involved in the formation of a triple bond are ________.

• A. three
• B. six
• C. two
• D. four

Answer 1

The correct option is A three

Each covalent bond formed between two atoms involves sharing of two electrons (or one pair of electrons).
Similarly, a double bond involves two electron pairs.
Hence, when a triple bond is formed between two atoms, three electron pairs, i.e., six electrons are shared between the two atoms.
