Q. Which one of the following elements forms double or triple bond involving $p \pi - p \pi$ bonding?

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Carbon atoms form double or triple bonds involving $p \pi-p \pi$ bonding. Carbon shows anomalous behaviour due to its smaller size, higher electronegativity, higher ionization enthalpy and unavailability of $d$-orbitals.
