Solution

Carbon dimer is a highly unstable and reactive species that probably wouldn't last very long in most environments. It is formally called 1,2-ethynediyl. There is a triple bond between the 2 C atoms, which leaves an unpaired electron on each carbon. This is an example of a diradical, a member of the group of chemicals known as radicals or free radicals.
