Assertion : Asetylene on reacting with sodamide gives sodium acetylide and ammonia.
Reason : ap hybridised carbon atoms of acetylene are considerably electronegative .

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
C. If assertion is true but reasonb is false
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

A

Explanation

`HC-=CH+NaNH_(2)overset("Ether")rarr HC-= C^(-)Na^(+)+NH_(3)`
C - H bond is strongly polar due to high electronegativity of carbon atom. Hence it gives `H^(+)` ion on reacting with a base or acetylene behaves an acid.
