These hydrocarbons contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. For example, ethyne, propyn..

In the IUPAC nomenculature, alkenes end with '-yne'. Condensed Formula Word root Primary Suffix IUPAC name and formula CH ≡ CH Eth - - yne Ethyne C 2 H 2 CH 3 - C ≡ CH Prop - - yne Propyne C 3 H 4 CH 3 - CH 2 - C ≡ CH But - - yne Butyne..

In alkynes, the two carbon atoms in the parent chain are bonded through a triple bond. The formation of triple bond in alkynes is illustrated below by taking ethyne (acetylene) as a typical exampl..

Physical state - The first three members (ethyne, propyne and butyne) are colourless and odorless gases. Due to the presence of phosphine as an impurity ethyne (acetylene) has garlic smell. The next eight members are liquids, and higher members are solids under normal conditions..

Alkynes add up two molecules of sulphuric acid. For example, ethyne gives..

The dihalo derivatives in which both the halogen atoms are attached to the same carbon atoms are known as gem-dihalides. When a gem-halide is boiled with alcoholic KOH corresponding alkyne is obtained. For example,..

Due to their acidic nature, alkynes form metallic salts called alkynides e.g., sodium, silver and copper(ous) salts. Examples are, ..

An alkyne reacts with hydrogen in the presence of catalyst (Pt or Ni) at 250°C, first forming alkenes and finally alkane. For example, ethyne gives ethane in two steps. ethyne etheneethane Ethane is obtained in good yields if hydroge..

Alkynes reacts with halogen acids according to the Markownikoff's rule i.e. the carbon atom carrying the least number of hydrogen atoms will have the negative part of the addendum attached to it. For example, ethyne (acetylene) with HBr gives, With diluted HCl at 65°..
