6 electrons
Sharing two pairs makes a double bond. Sharing three pairs makes a triple bond.
The bond formed by the sharing of electrons is called a covalent bond.
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
A covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons between atoms. This type of bond occurs between nonmetal atoms.
An ionic bond
covalent bond
In a triple bond, one sigma bond is formed from the direct overlap of two atomic orbitals, while the other two pi bonds are formed by the sideways overlap of p-orbitals. So, in total, there are one sigma bond and two pi bonds in a triple bond.
Covalent. In compounds this may be a single or double bond. In the elemental form N2 there is a triple bond.
single bond
A covalent bond is formed as a result of sharing electron pairs.
sharing of electrons
A triple covalent bond is a type of chemical bond formed when three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. This results in the sharing of six electrons in total, making the bond very strong and stable. Triple covalent bonds are commonly found in molecules like nitrogen gas (N2).
