Question
Of the following species, the one with a triple covalent bond is (a) $\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-} ;$ (b) $\mathrm{CN}^{-} ;$ (c) $\mathrm{CO}_{2} ;$ (d) $\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}$.
Step 1
A triple covalent bond involves the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms. This type of bond is typically found in molecules like nitrogen gas (\( \mathrm{N}_2 \)) and acetylene (\( \mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_2 \)). Show more…
