The orbital overlap and spin-pairing between electrons in two collinear p orbitals that result in the formation of a ( bond.
A representation of the structure of a triple bond in ethyne; only the bonds are shown explicitly. The overall electron density has cylindrical symmetry around the axis of the molecule.
