The number of \(\sigma\) and \(\pi\) bonds between two carbon atoms in calcium carbide are
- A one \(\sigma,\) one \(\pi\)
- B one \(\sigma\), two \(\pi\)
- C two \(\sigma\), one \(\pi\)
- D one \(\sigma, 1 \frac{1}{2} \pi\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) one \(\sigma\), two \(\pi\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Calcium carbide is calcium acetylide, having structure Thus, it has one sigma (\(\sigma\)) and two pi (\(\pi\)) bonds.
