Beau Berry · Answer 1

C. a triple bond consists of one π bond and two σ bonds. (It should be one σ bond and 2 π bonds)

d. end-to-end overlap of orbitals results in a bond with electron density above and below the bond axis (in direction of bond axis)

e. a π bond consists of two pairs of electrons. (one pair of electrons)

f. two σ bonds comprise a double bond. (one σ bond and one π bond)
