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.
A 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.
The 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.
3 pairs of electrons common to both atoms in the molecule.

A covalent triple bond.
A triple covalent bond is formed
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
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.
The bond that is formed when two or more pairs of elcetrons are shared is called a covalent bond.
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.
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
Yes. Two pairs of shared electrons would form a double covalent bond.
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
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.
The word in the blank should be 'covalent'.

The pairs of electrons are shared between atoms.
The bond that is formed when two or more pairs of elcetrons are shared is called a covalent bond.
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.
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.
Covalent bond
That is a triple covalent bond.
