 So there are different families of organic compounds and a third family is the alkyne family and Alkynes have triple bonds or a triple bond or bonds between the carbons So the simplest alkyne is Ethine and you can see that we have C2 H2 there would be a hydrogen here and the hydrogen here And we have this triple bond between the carbons and so we can look at Ethine and you can see that we have one carbon one carbon two and then a set of triple bonds Between the carbons
