which statement is correct?
a triple bond consists of three sigma bonds.
a triple bond consists of three pi bonds.
a triple bond consists of one pi and two sigma bonds.
a triple bond consists of one sigma and two pi bonds.
Brief Explanations
A triple bond is formed when two atoms share three pairs of electrons. In terms of bond types, the first bond formed (the strongest one) is a sigma ($\sigma$) bond. The remaining two bonds are pi ($\pi$) bonds. So, a triple bond has one $\sigma$ bond and two $\pi$ bonds.
