Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 438
Question: The number and type of bonds in ion in $ ~CaC_2 $ are:
Options:
A) One $ \sigma bond $ and one $ \pi -bond $
B) One $ \sigma bond $ and two $ \pi -bond $
C) Two $ \sigma bond $ and two $ \pi -bond $
D) Two $ \sigma bond $ and one $ \pi -bond $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- The structure of $ CaC_2 $ is $ C{a^{2+}}{{[:C\equiv C:]}^{2-}} $ i.e. one $ \sigma $ and two $ \pi $ bonds
