WHICH IS STRONGER OUT OF SINGLE,DOUBLE AND TRIPLE BOND.WHY?
Obviously triple bond. In a single bond, it only shares one pair of electrons. But  a triple bond shares three pairs of electrons. More shared  electrons means a stronger bond will result because the other atom's positively charged nucleus is even more attracted to the electrons than the previous bond. This increased attraction pulls the nuclei closer together creating a shorter distance between the two atoms. The shorter the bond, the stronger the bond because it requires more energy to separate it.
