Explanation:

Single Covalent Bond

Step1: Recall single bond definition

A single covalent bond is formed by sharing 1 pair of electrons.

Step2: Calculate total electrons

1 pair has 2 electrons (since 1 pair = 2 electrons).

Double Covalent Bond

Step1: Recall double bond definition

A double covalent bond is formed by sharing 2 pairs of electrons.

Step2: Calculate total electrons

2 pairs × 2 electrons/pair = 4 electrons.

Triple Covalent Bond

Step1: Recall triple bond definition

A triple covalent bond is formed by sharing 3 pairs of electrons.

Step2: Calculate total electrons

3 pairs × 2 electrons/pair = 6 electrons.

Answer:

s:

• Single covalent bond: 1 shared pair, 2 electrons total.
• Double covalent bond: 2 shared pairs, 4 electrons total.
• Triple covalent bond: 3 shared pairs, 6 electrons total.

(For the dropdowns, the first blank in each bond type takes the number of pairs, the second takes total electrons:

• Single: 1, 2
• Double: 2, 4
• Triple: 3, 6)
