Solution
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.
