Triple covalent bonding occurs when three electron pairs are shared between two atoms, forming a stronger and shorter bond than single or double bonds. An example is the nitrogen molecule where each nitrogen atom shares three electron pairs with the other nitrogen atom. Other examples containing triple bonds include cyanides, isocyanides, dinitrogen, and carbon monoxide.

1. Triple covalent Bonding

2. What is triple covalent
bonding?
• A covalent bond in which three
electron pairs are shared between
two atoms.

3. • Triple bonds are stronger
than single bonds or double bonds
and they are also shorter.

4. Example:-
• Nitrogen Molecule

8. • Other functional groups containing a
triple bond
are cyanides and isocyanides. Some
diatomic molecules, such
as dinitrogen and carbon
monoxide are also triple bonded.
