    In acetylene molecule, the two carbon atoms are linked by:

    A)  One sigma-bond and two pi-bonds

    B)  Two sigma-bonds and one pi-bond

    C)  Three sigma-bonds

    D)  Three pi-bonds

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In acetylene molecule, both carbon are sp-hybrid. The two unpaired p-orbitals from \[\pi \]bond by overlapping with each other. One sp-orbital is \[\sigma \]-bonded to s[-orbital of H-atom while the rest sp-orbital is (J-bonded to sp-orbital of other C-atom.
