Explain why 1-butyne reacts with ammoniacal silver nitrate to produce a white precipitate, but 2-butyne does not.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1-butyne `(CH_3CH_2C-=CH)` being a terminal alkyne reacts with ammoniacal `AgNO_3` solution to produce a white precipitate but2-butyne `(CH_3C-=C""CH_3)` being a non-terminal alkyne does not react with ammoniacal `AgNO_3` solution
