A triple bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms. This bond is stronger than a single bond (which shares one pair of electrons) and a double bond (which shares two pairs of electrons). In a triple bond, the two atoms involved each contribute three electrons, resulting in a total of six electrons being shared.
