Diagram showing four types of crystal bonding: ionic bonding with sodium and chlorine ions, covalent bonding with carbon atoms sharing electrons, metallic bonding with iron ions surrounded by free electrons, and molecular bonding with hydrogen molecules held by weak electrical attraction. — chemical bonding Different types of bonding in crystals.

In chemistry, a triple bond consists of:

One sigma bond: Formed by the overlap of orbitals along the internuclear axis, providing cylindrical symmetry.12
Two pi bonds: Formed by the side-to-side overlap of orbitals, with electron density located off the internuclear axis.12

Together, these three pairs of shared electrons create a stable covalent linkage, as seen in molecules like nitrogen ( $N_{2}$ ) and acetylene ( $C_{2} H_{2}$ ).12
