Alkynes
Alkynes: Molecular And Structural Formulae The alkynes comprise a series of carbon- and hydrogen- based compounds that
contain at least one triple bond. This group of compounds is a homologous series with the general molecular formula of Cn H2n—2
The alkyne triple bond is composed of one σ and two 2 covalent bonds, the triple bond can be terminal or internal.
The simplest alkyne, ethyne (also known as acetylene), has two carbon atoms and the molecular formula of C2H2. The structural formula for ethyne is:
CH CH3
Alkynes
sp Hybridization Of Alkynes
This involves the mixing of one s- and one p-orbital forming two sp-hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy. The two sp-hybrid orbitals are oriented in a linear arrangement and bond angle is 180° to minimize the repulsion between them.
The remaining two p orbitals (py and Pz) are unaltered

CH CH
Molecular formula of ethyne is C2H2.
In ethyne, each carbon atom is sp-hybridized. In this way, four sp-orbital are generated. One sp- orbital of each carbon atom by overlapping forms a sigma
bond between carbon atoms. Remaining one sp-orbital of each carbon atom overlap with 1s-
orbital of a hydrogen atom to produce two sigma bonds. Py-orbital and Pz-orbitals of each carbon by parallel overlapping
form two pi-bonds between the two carbon atoms. Geometry (shape) of ethyne molecule is linear in which bond
angles are 180o and C=C bond length is 1.20 Å5

Summary
sp hybridization occurs when a C has 2 sigma bonds only sp hybridized orbital has 50% s and 50% p character The 2 sp hybrids point in opposite directions at 180o to each other Each sp hybrid is involved in a(σ)sigma bond The remaining p orbitals form the 2pi bonds The triple bond is one (σ)bond and two pi (∏) bonds.

Alkynes
Find the longest chain containing both atoms of the triple bond; this gives the root name.
Add the ending –yne to the root name.Number the chain, starting at the end closest to the triple bond. Give branches or other substituents names and numbers to locate their positions.Indicate the number of identical groups by prefixes di, tri, tetra, etc.Place the position numbers and names of the substituent groups in alphabetical
order, before the root name. In alphabetizing ignore prefixes like tert., di, tri, etc. but include iso and cyclo.
Double and triple bonds are considered to have equal priority: thus in a molecule with both a double and triple bond, whichever is close to the end of the chain determines the direction of numbering.
In case where double and triple bonds would have the same position number, the double bond takes the lower number.
In writing the final name ‘’ene’’ comes before ‘’yne’’ regardless which takes the lower number (i.e. alphabetical order).

Alkynes
Common Nomenclature Of Alkynes The simplest alkyne its common name is acetylene Therefore the common names of alkynes are derived from acetylene
( e.g. Methyl acetylene)

Physical Properties
Nonpolar, insoluble in water. Soluble in most organic solvents.The boiling points and melting points of alkynes increase with molecular weight. Branching reduces the boiling point of alkynes Terminal alkynes, R-CC-H, are more acidic than other
hydrocarbons.
