because when there is a double bond, there is a Pi bond involved. and Pi bonds are weaker than sigma bonds (which are in single bonds)
WRONG.
While it is true that Pi bonds are weaker than Sigma bonds, double bonds (C = C) contain BOTH Pi and Sigma bonds making double bonds stronger than single bonds (which contain only a Sigma bond) overall.

Silicon- Silicon Pi bonds have a long bond length and a weak overlap making it unstable.

∙ 12y agoNo, because theoretically; and scientifically proven; the triangle is the strongest shape. Therefore, the "Triple" bond is immaculate.

Why nitrogen is less reactive at room temperature?
Because the double bond between nitrogen is very strong
Which bond is more stable single bond or double bond?
The double bond is more stable, because it requires more energy to break two bonds , than to break one bond. Triple bonds require more energy again and hence are more stable. Singlw bond H-H Double bond C=C Triple bond N///N
Are double and triple binds between C atoms more reactive or less reactive than single bonds?
yes they are more reactive then triple binds hope that helps ily xoxo
The bond enthalpy values indicate that the bond in carbon monoxide is stronger than that in nitrogen molecule yet carbon monoxide is more reactive than nitrogen?
N2 exists with a triple bond between them. Ballpark it by mulitplying the single bond energy by 3. You see that it is much stronger than CO THIS ANSWER IS WRONG! carbon monoxide has a triple bond also. BUT the n triple bond is not polar. the co triple bond features an electronegative oxygen atom and the carbon has a negative charge. hence much more reactive.
Is propyne more reactive than propane?
Propylene and propene are synonyms for the same compound with the chemical formula C3H6.If you meant "which is more reactive: propene or propyne", the former being the alkene (contains a double bond) and the latter being the alkyne (contains a triple bond), then propyne should be the more reactive.This is, perhaps, due to the relatively higher steric accessibility of the 4 π(pi)-electrons in propyne (uncited).

Which is most reactive ethyne or benzene?
An alkene is more reactive than alkyne. as double bond can donate pair of electron. while in tripple bond the bond length is less than double bond. Alkkynes have more attractive forces than alkene. so alkene is more reactive.
Why is nitrogen reactivate at room temperature?
Nitrogen is a diatomic gas at room temperature. These nitrogen atoms are bond by a triple bond. It needs more energy to break this bond. So nitrogen is less reactive.
Is propyne more reactive than propane?

Which is strongest carbon carbon single bond carbon carbon double bond or carbon carbon triple bond?
The strongest chemical bond is the ionic bond. Ionic bond strengths are greater than covalent bond strengths.answer 2it is known that covalent bond is stronger.
Why is triple bond between two nitrogen atoms is stronger than a double bond between two oxygen atoms?
because it takes more energy to break a triple bond than a double bondActually we know that in triple bonding one bond is sigma and other two bonds are pi covalent bonds and sigma bond is more stronger than the pi bonds and as the bond order increases the length shorten and the sigma bond become mora stronger which add to other two pi bonds hence tripple bond is more stronger than double bond.because there is three times the dond
What bonds restrict rotation about the axis of double or triple bonds?
Double and triple bonds restrict the rotation around the axis of the bond, resulting in more rigid molecules. These are typically known as Pi bonds.
Why does the reactivity of nitrogen differ from phosphorus?
Nitrogen is chemically less reactive. This is because of the high stability of its molecule, N2. In N2, the two nitrogen atoms form a triple bond. This triple bond has very high bond strength, which is very difficult to break. It is because of nitrogen's small size that it is able to form pπ−pπ bonds with itself. This property is not exhibited by atoms such as phosphorus. Thus, phosphorus is more reactive than nitrogen.
Why do nitrogen molecules have triple bonds where is oxygen molecules have double bonds?
I think of it this way: the more bonds an atom has, the stronger it can hold onto the other atom, and therefore it's able to pull it in real tight - making it short and strong both! :) Here's what my chem book says: ---- * A single bond has a bond order of 1. * a double bond has a bond order of 2. * A triple bond has a bond order of 3. In a given pair of atoms, a higher bond order results in a shorter bond lengthand a higher bond energy. A shorter bond is a stronger bond. *Information from Chapter 9 in Silberberg's CHEMISTRY: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change. 4 Ed. pp 341 - 342.
