Hope you understand how to work out those types of questions now xD ;)
Given that <span>sample a has a higher melting point than sample
b. Therefore, sample a is a longer chain of a </span><span>fatlike solid substance. It could also be that the bonds present in sample a is much stronger which will require more energy to break. Hope this answers the question.</span>
A triple bond is a type of covalent bond. It involves a sigma bond and two pi bonds (each bond involves 2 electrons). A carbon atom is capable of 4 bonds...a carbon-carbon triple bond is found in all alkynes.
