The decreasing order of acidic character among ethane (I), ethene (II), ethyne (III) and propyne (IV) is

Answer»

`(I) gt (II) gt (III) gt (IV)`
`(II) gt (III) gt (I) gt (IV)`
`(III) gt (IV) gt (II) gt (I)`
`(IV) gt (III) gt (II) gt (I)`

Solution :The correct order of decreasing acidity is
`UNDERSET((III))(CH-=CH) gt underset((IV))(CH-=C-CH_(3))gt underset((II))(CH_(2)=CH_(2)) gt underset((I))(CH_(3)-CH_(3))`
HYDROGEN atoms attached to SP-hybridised CARBON-atom are most acidic, followed by those attached to `sp^(2)`-hybridised carbon-atom, and those attached to `sp^(3)`-hybridised carbon are least acidic.
