How Many Sigma and Pi Bonds Are in Ethyne?

[xiphoid]

Homework Statement

In the hybradization of ethyne molecule, how many σ and ∏ bonds are being formed?

The Attempt at a Solution

Since, there is a triple bond between the carbon atoms, it should form 2 ∏ bonds and 1 σ bond.
Relatively there will be 2 other σ bonds between Carbon-Hydrogen.

So, all together, there are supposed to be 3 σ and 2 ∏ bonds.
Want to know if the above theory is right?

 

[Saitama]

That's correct.

 

[dharavsolanki]

Yes. Perfect. The only problem that happens in multiple choice questions is that students might forget to mention that the triple bond also contributes a sigma bond.
