Which of the following statements best explain the greater acidity of terminal alkynes `(RC-=CH)` compared with monosubstituted alkenes `(RCH=CH_(2))`?A. The sp-hybridized carbon atoms of the alkynes are less electronegative than the `sp^(2)` carbons of the alkene.B. The two `pi` bonds of the alkyne are better able to stabilize th negative charge of the anion by resonance.C. The sp-hybridized carbons of the alkyne are more electronegative than the `sp^2` carbon of the alkene.D. The question is incorrect-alkenes are more acidic than alkynes. |
