Question

what does this mean: is (a molecule) sigma or pi in symmetry? the molecule in question is c triple bond c. ....it has 2 pi bonds and 1 sigma bond....which is symmetrical?

Answer 1

I don't know what that means. The acetylene molecule is a linear molecule which makes it symmetrical in two dimensions but not in three. I suggest you Google sigma bonds and pi bonds and look at the pictures. If we knew what kind of symmetry the question was talking about we might do a better job of answering.
