Q

carbon-carbon triple bond in the middle of the carbon chain

A

internal alkynes

25
Q

boiling point of alkynes compared to other hydrocarbons

A

higher boiling point

26
Q

electric field of alkynes

A

more susceptible to distortion

27
Q

why is the electric field of alkynes more susceptible to distorition

A

due to increased number of weakly held electrons

  • become more dense as mass increases
31
Q

physical state of alkynes

A
  • odorless, colorless
  • first three alkynes are gases

Q

polarity of alkynes

A
  • nonpolar
  • more electronegative than alkenes and alkanes
38
Q

why are alkynes more electronegative than alkanes and alkenes

A

due to sp hybridized carbon atom

  5. oxidation
  6. polymerization
41
Q
  • an addition reaction where hydrogen molecules are used to saturate organic compounds
  • process is effective under certain catalytic conditions and controlled temperatures depending on the type of hydrocarbon
  • undergo the same with the same catalysts used in alkene
A

hydrogenation

42
Q
  • involves the reaction of a compound with a halogen and results in the halogen being added to the compound
  • possible to stop this reaction at alkene stage by runnint it at temperature slightly below 0C
A

halogenation

43
Q
  • When hydrogen halide is treated with alkynes (triple bond compounds) it results in the formation of gem halides.
  • Gem halides are the compounds in which two halogens are attached to the same carbon atoms in a molecule.
