Why are phenols more acidic than alcohol? Explain.
Alkynes exhibit acidic properties because of the differences in the electronegativity of sp-
hybridized carbons. Which of the following statements best explains the acidic property of
acetylene?
A. The electronegativity of sp hybridized carbon decreases bond dipole between C and H.
B. Hydrogen atom becomes ionized due to sp-s repulsion.
C. The sp-sp orbital overlap attracts the electron cloud between C and H.
D. The pi bonds in the triple bond promote ionization of carbon into carbocations
