The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Correct answer: 1 sigma bond and \(2\pi\) bonds
 
Explanation:
In a nitrogen molecule (\(N_2\)), the two nitrogen atoms are connected by a triple bond. A triple bond consists of:
- 1 sigma (σ) bond: formed by the head-on overlap of orbitals
- 2 pi (π) bonds: formed by the side-by-side overlap of p orbitals

Therefore, the triple bond in \(N_2\) contains 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.
