The acetylinic hydrogen atom is more acidic than the olefinic hydrogen atoms or hydrogen atoms attached to alkanes.
Explanation:
The acidity of a terminal alkyne is as a result of the high level of s character in the sp hybridized orbital, which bonds with the s orbital of the hydrogen atom to form a single bond. This very high level of s character in an sp‐hybridized carbon causes the region of overlap the σ bond to shift much closer to the carbon atom. This effect leads to a polarization the bond, causing the hydrogen atom to become slightly positive. This slight positive charge makes the acetylinic hydrogen atom a weak proton, which can be removed by a strong base.
In the case of alkanes and alkenes, the s character in the hybridized carbon bonds is much less than that of the acetylinic bond, resulting in fewer electronegative carbon atoms and a corresponding lesser shift of electron density toward those atoms in the overlap region of the σ bond. The location of the overlap region makes the corresponding hydrogen atoms less electron deficient and thus less acidic than the acetylinic hydrogen. In reality, the hydrogen atoms bonded to alkanes and alkenes can be removed as protons, but much stronger nonaqueous bases are necessary.
because they have completely filled and stable electron shells. Using you periodic table, it can show you that the noble gases are furthest to the right and explain the way outer shells of electrons work.
The answer is A, do you want me to explain it? It’s pretty simple, you just need to follow all the signs in brackets and match them in those in the answer
