Detailed Solution

Number and type of bonds between two carbon atoms in CaC2 are one σ and two π bonds.

A single bond between two atoms is always considered as sigma bond.
A double bond between two atoms is always considered as one sigma and one pi bond
A triple bond between two atoms is always considered as one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
So according to the given structure CaC2 (Calcium carbide) ha 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds.
