Quadruple bond to give a bond order of 2, meaning that there exists a double bond between the two carbons in a dicarbon (C) molecule. The molecular orbital diagram of diatomic carbon would show that there are two pi bonds and no sigma bonds. However, a recent paper by S. Shaik et al. has suggested that a quadruple bond exists in diatomic carbon. Quadruple bond A quadruple bond is a type of chemical bond between two atoms involving eight electrons. This bond is an extension of the more familiar types double bonds and triple bonds. Stable quadruple bonds are most common among
Double beta decay or double beta decay are predicted to be very long; hence, quadruple beta decay is unlikely to be realized. The eight candidate nuclei for quadruple beta decay include Zr, Xe, and Nd capable of quadruple beta-minus decay, and Xe, Ba, Gd, and Dy capable of quadruple beta-plus decay or electron capture. In theory, quadruple beta decay may be experimentally observable in three of these nuclei, with the most promising candidate being Nd. Double beta decay In nuclear physics, double beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which two neutrons are simultaneously transformed into two protons, or vice versa,
