How many covalent bonds does ethyne have?

Take a look at the picture.. Any bond that involves sharing of electrons qualifies as a covalent bond. read more

Per ethene molecule, four of these sp2-hybridized orbitals (six in total as we have two C-atoms) form covalent sigma-bonds with the 1s electron of each hydrogen atom (4 H-atoms for two C-atoms) while the two remaining sp2 orbitals form a sigma bond connecting the two C-atoms. read more

Any bond that involves sharing of electrons qualifies as a covalent bond. So there are 3 bonds between carbon (1 sigma and 2 pi) and 2 bonds between carbon and hydrogen (both sigma).. This page may be out of date. read more
