one pi bond is in a triple bond.
number of pi bonds in a triple bond?
one
a typical double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond; for example, the c=c double bond in ethylene (hc=ch). a typical triple bond, for example in acetylene (hc≡ch), consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds in two mutually perpendicular planes containing the bond axis. two pi bonds are the maximum that can exist between a given pair of atoms. quadruple bonds are extremely rare and can be formed only between transition metal atoms, and consist of one sigma bond, two pi bonds and one delta bond.
pi bond
the single bond has the capacity for rotation, a property not possessed by the double bond or the triple bond. the structure of pi bonds does not allow for rotation (at least not at 298 k), so the double bond and the triple bond which contain pi bonds are held due to this property. the sigma bond is not so restrictive, and the single bond is able to rotate using the sigma bond as the axis of rotation (moore, stanitski, and jurs 396-397).
