Which of the following hydrocarbons are most polar in nature?A. AlkanesB. AlkenesC. AlkynesD. All are non-polar |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C They are all basically ninpolar but alkynes are relatively more polar on account of more polarzation of their `pi`-electrons. Thus, alkynes are slightly more soluble in water than alkenes and alkanes. For example but-1-yne has a larger dipole moment (0.80 D) than but-1-ene (0.30 D) because the C with more s character is more electronegative. Thus, a carbon-carbon bond involving sp hybrid C of but-1-yne is more polarized than a carbon-carbon bond involving `sp^2` hybrid C of but-1-ene. |
