Alkynes are organic molecules made of the functional group carbon-carbon triple bonds and are written in the empirical formula of CnH2n−2. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Furthermore, Halogenation reaction of any alkyne such as but-2-yne with any of the hydro halogenated compounds such as HBr, HCl, HF or HI will give an alkane that will have the same number of carbon atoms in the starting material and in the final product.
Halogenation reaction is a reaction that occurs when one or more halogens are added to a substance. Halogens is the seventh column in the periodic table and it include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
