Triple Bond

A chemical bond formed when two atoms share three pairs of electrons

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to carry a heavy piece of furniture up a flight of stairs with two friends. Each of you holds onto the furniture tightly, coordinating your movements to ensure it doesn't slip or fall. Similarly, in a triple bond, two atoms share three pairs of electrons, much like how you and your friends each contribute your strength and grip to keep the furniture stable. Just as each person represents a pair of electrons, working together to securely hold the weight, the three pairs of electrons in a triple bond tightly bind the atoms, ensuring a strong connection.
