triple bond
Three shared pairs
A triple bond is a chemical bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons, creating a strong, short connection between them.
Triple bonds appear in molecules like nitrogen gas (N₂) and acetylene.
They are stronger and shorter than single or double bonds but also more reactive in certain conditions.
