MCQ
The number and type of bonds between two carbon atoms in $CaC_2$ are
  • A
    One $\sigma -$ and one $\pi -$ bond
  • One $\sigma -$ and two $\pi -$ bond
  • C
    One  $\sigma -$ and half $\pi -$ bond
  • D
    One $\sigma -$ bond

Answer

Correct option: B.
One $\sigma -$ and two $\pi -$ bond
b
The number and type of bonds between two carbon atoms in $CaC _2$ are one sigma $(\sigma)$ and two pi $(\pi)$-bonds and ionic bonds between $Ca ^{+2}$ ion and carbide ion. $C _2^{2-}$ has $[ C \equiv C ]^{2-}$ structure.
