Question

Number of sigma and pi bonds in c2 molecule is/are

Answer 1

hello frnd, there is no C2 molecule..

Answer 2

Hello dear,

● Answer -
2 π bonds
0 σ bonds

● Explanation -
- MOT suggests C2 molecule having 2 sets of paired electrons.
- These paired electrons are present in degenerate π orbitals making 2 covalent bonds.
- Thus, C2 molecule contains 2 π bonds and no σ bonds.


* Molecular orbital theory predicts the placement of electrons in a molecule.

Hope this helps you...
