Correct answer: A. 3s and 2p bonds
- A. 3s and 2p bonds
- B. 5s and 2p bonds
- C. 4s and 1p bonds
- D. 5s and 3p bonds
Explanation
Acetylene contains 3s and 2p bonds. This is because acetylene forms a triple bond between carbon atoms, consisting of 2 pi-bonds and 1 sigma bond. The other options provide incorrect information about the number and type of bonds in acetylene.
