When three pairs of electrons are shared what kind of covalent bond is formed?

carbon to carbon can make single, double or triple bonds. C2H2 which is acetylene (aka ethyne) has each carbon single bonded to hydrogen, and triple bonded to each other, 3 pairs of shared valence electrons = a triple covalent bond. Pure diatomic nitrogen also has this, with each having a pair of unshared electrons as well.

∙ 12y agoA triple bond, as found in compounds such as acetylene, consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. Each of these bonds is formed by the sharing of two electrons. Thus, the triple bond consists of 6 shared electrons in total.

∙ 14y agoThe definition of a covalent bond is 'a shared pair of electrons' so two pairs makes a double bond as in carbon dioxide and three shared pairs makes a triple bond as in a nitrogen molecule. Interestingly, a triple bond is more than three times as strong as three single bonds - the N-N single bond haas a bond enthalpy of 163 kJ/mol but the triple bond in molecular nitrogen has a bond enthalpy of 944 kJ/mol. If you are burning rocket fuel such as hydrazine N2H4 and forming nitrogen, you are making very strong bonds and so releasing a large amount of energy.

Which kind of bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
What Bond formed by shared pairs of electrons?
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
What kind of bond has electrons being shared between two atoms?
The bond that is formed when two or more pairs of elcetrons are shared is called a covalent bond.
Covalent bonding of one atom to another is the result of?
It is formed by a pair of electrons shared between 2 atoms. the nucleus of the atoms attract each other, and 2 atoms share a pair of electrons. This is a single covalent bond. In a double covalent bond, 2 pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms. 3 pairs are shared in triple bonds.
Which kind of bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
When two pairs of shared electrons are present a bond is formed?
Yes. Two pairs of shared electrons would form a double covalent bond.
What Bond formed by shared pairs of electrons?
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
When two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms a ----------------- bond is formed?
The word in the blank should be 'covalent'.
What involves shared pairs of electrons?
Covalent compound
What happens to the electrons in a covalent?
The pairs of electrons are shared between atoms.
What kind of bond has electrons being shared between two atoms?
The bond that is formed when two or more pairs of elcetrons are shared is called a covalent bond.
Covalent bonding of one atom to another is the result of?
It is formed by a pair of electrons shared between 2 atoms. the nucleus of the atoms attract each other, and 2 atoms share a pair of electrons. This is a single covalent bond. In a double covalent bond, 2 pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms. 3 pairs are shared in triple bonds.
Describe the general location of electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
A bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared?
Covalent bond
In a molecule of nitrogen three pairs of electrons are shared by two nitrogen atoms The type of bond that is formed is an example of an?
That is a triple covalent bond.
