Best Answer

In a triple covalent bond there are three electron pairs. Examples are ethyne (acetylene) HCCH where the the triple bond is between the carbon atoms, and N2 where there is triple bond between the nitrogen atoms. A triple bond has sigma bond (electrons along the axis, and two pi bonds electrons around the axis. See link for a picture. Note wikipedia triple bond article INCORRECTLY says triple bonds common in phosphorus, so ignore that bit the rest is OK
