Detailed Solution

Both are true statements 

C2:  σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2σ*2s2π2px2=π2py2or  KKσ2s2σ*2s2π2px2=π2py2

The bond order of C2  is  1/284=2  and  C2 should be diamagnetic. It is important to note that double bond in C2 consists of both pi bonds because of the presence of four electrons in two pi molecular orbitals. In most of the other molecules a double bond is made up of a sigma bond and a pi bond.
