Which one is the correct order of acidity?
Explanation
Acidity follows s-character: sp > sp² > sp³.
Detailed Solution
Correct order is $H-C\equiv C-H > H_3C-C\equiv C-H > H_2C=CH_2 > CH_3-CH_3$
Ethyne has two acidic hydrogens and propyne one; sp carbon (more s-character) makes C–H more acidic than $sp^2$, which is more acidic than $sp^3$.
