Triple bond, but different reactiivity
« on: October 19, 2005, 06:28:43 PM »
Nitrogene (N2) and acetylene have a triple bond.  nitrogene is usually inert to other chemicals, however, acetylene is reactive.  How can it be explained?

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
