Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which one is the CORRECT order of acidity?
A
CH₂ = CH₂ > CH₃ – CH = CH₂ > CH₃ – CH₃
B
CH = CH > CH₃ – C ≡ CH > CH₂ = CH₂
C
CH = CH > CH₂ = CH₂ > CH₃ – CH₃
D
CH₃ – CH₃ > CH₂ = CH₂ > CH = CH
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Acidity is influenced by the hybridization of the carbon atom bonded to the hydrogen. sp hybridized carbons (alkynes) are more acidic than sp² (alkenes) and sp³ (alkanes).
