Question

Based on the model, which of the following is true? Each carbon has three lone pairs of electrons on it. The octet of carbon atom remains incomplete in the molecule. The two carbon atoms share a total of six electrons with each other. The difference between the electronegativity of carbon and hydrogen is greater than 1.7.

Answer 1

According to the given model, there is a triple bond between the carbon atoms, which means that they share a total of six electrons with each other.

The correct answer is the third choice: The two carbon atoms share a total of six electrons with each other.
