Question

The number of single covalent bonds in C₂H₂ molecule are ______.

Answer 1

The number of single covalent bonds in C₂H₂ molecule are two.

Explanation:

In a C₂H₂ (acetylene) molecule, the two carbon atoms are joined together by a central triple covalent bond. Each carbon atom also shares a single pair of electrons with a hydrogen atom on either side. This results in exactly two single covalent bonds (the C-H bonds) and one triple bond in the entire molecule.
