Covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electron pairs to become stable. In triple covalent bond, two atoms share three electron pairs. In other words, six electrons are shared by two atoms in triple covalent bond. For example, Acetylene is an organic compound and its molecular formula is C2H2. Triple bond is present between two carbon atoms in a acetylene molecule. In a molecule of acetylene, carbon-hydrogen single bonds and carbon-carbon triple bonds are present.
