There are many compounds which contain triple bonds between two atoms. Few of the are as follow,
Nitrogen Molecule:
N₂ or :N≡N:
Cyanide Ion:
CN⁻ or [:C≡N:]⁻
Alkynes:
R-C≡C-R
Carbon Monoxide:
CO or :C≡O:
Among given compounds Alkynes belong to a class of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The carbon atom in alkyne is sp hybridized. These unsaturated hydrocarbons have their own characteristic chemical properties.
