The number and type of bonds between two carbon atoms in `CaC_(2)` are:

A

One sigma and one pi-bond

B

One sigma and one pi-bonds

C

One sigma and one -half pi-bond

D

One sigma -bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Ca^(2+) [C-=C]^(2-)`
There is a triple bond between two carbon atoms which menans that there is one `sigma` bond and there are two pi-bonds .
