$1-$butyne

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The acidity of hydrocarbons depends on the $s$-character of the hybridised carbon atom to which the hydrogen is attached.$1-$butyne $(CH_3-CH_2-C \equiv CH)$ contains a terminal hydrogen atom attached to an $sp$ hybridised carbon atom.Since $sp$ hybridised carbon has $50\% \ s$-character,it is more electronegative,making the $C-H$ bond more polar and the hydrogen more acidic.Butane $(sp^3)$,$1-$butene $(sp^2)$,and $2-$butyne (no acidic hydrogen) are significantly less acidic than $1-$butyne.
