Molecules with Different Types of Bonds

1. Single Bonds

   • Example: Ethane (C₂H₆)
   • What It Is: Ethane has single bonds between carbon atoms (C-C) and between carbon and hydrogen atoms (C-H).
   • How It Works: Each carbon atom in ethane can make four single bonds.

2. Double Bonds

   • Example: Ethylene (C₂H₄)
   • What It Is: Ethylene contains a double bond between carbon atoms (C=C). It also has four hydrogen atoms linked to the carbon.
   • How It Works: In this molecule, each carbon atom is connected to two hydrogen atoms, which gives a total of six bonds.

3. Triple Bonds

   • Example: Acetylene (C₂H₂)
   • What It Is: Acetylene features a triple bond between carbon atoms (C≡C).
   • How It Works: Each carbon atom in acetylene has one bond with a hydrogen atom. This structure creates a straight shape and includes two hydrogen atoms.

These examples show how different types of bonds connect atoms in organic molecules.
