NEET Chemistry Alkynes MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about alkynes and their reactions is correct?
Alkynes undergo electrophilic addition reactions following Markovnikov's rule and can form gem dihalides with hydrogen halides.
Alkynes only react with dihydrogen in the presence of heat, not with catalysts like Pt or Pd.
All alkynes are symmetrical and thus do not follow Markovnikov's rule during addition reactions.
The addition of halogens to alkynes results in the formation of unsaturated compounds that retain their reddish-orange color.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Alkynes indeed undergo electrophilic addition reactions according to Markovnikov's rule, and they can form gem dihalides when reacted with hydrogen halides, as stated in the NCERT context.
