Q. The double bond in $C _{2}$, on the basis of $MOT,$ Consists of-

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

The valence electrons, responsible for bond formation occupy $\pi$ molecular orbitals, so both bonds are $\pi$ bonds in $C_{2}$.

These two marked $\pi$ molecular orbitals are filled, so both the bonds are $\pi$ bonds.
