Question

Whats the difference between single, double, and triple bonds?

Answer 1

In the currently accepted model, single bonds involve 2 electrons, double bonds - 4, and triple bonds-6 between the two atoms involved in the bond.

In another model (the MCAS model), 6-electrons occur between the two atoms in each bond. In the single bond, there are 6 NON-bonding electrons; in the double there are 4 and in the triple there are only 2. The bond strength decreases as the bonding electrons of each atom repel the NON-bonding electrons of the other atom. Seems simple, doesn't it?

Answer 2

Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single bonds between the atoms.

Alkanes can be either straight-chain or branched-chain . Straight-chain alkanes are the simplest.

The number of carbons in each chain determine the name.

The chains that have single bonds are alkanes...CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3

The chains that hace double bonds are alkenes...

CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH3

The chains that have triple bonds are alkynes...

CH3-CH2-C≡C-CH2-CH3

and the nomenclature also changes between these 3

Answer 3

single bonds are alkanes and these are saturated hydrocarbons. it shares 2 electrons and its bond is called sigma bond. double bonds are alkenes, unsaturated hydrocarbons and it has a pie bond, it shares 4 electrons. triple bonds are alkynes, unsaturated hydrocarbons with a sigma and pie bonds and it shares 6 electrons.

hope this helps...

Answer 4

The number of electrons involved.
