AI Generated Solution

To compare the acidic strength of the given compounds `(a) CH≡CH` (ethyne), `(b) CH₂=CH₂` (ethylene), and `(c) CH₃-CH₃` (ethane), we will analyze the stability of their conjugate bases after the loss of a hydrogen ion (H⁺). The more stable the conjugate base, the stronger the acid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Conjugate Bases**: - For `(a) CH≡CH` (ethyne), the conjugate base formed after losing H⁺ is `CH≡C⁻`. - For `(b) CH₂=CH₂` (ethylene), the conjugate base formed is `CH₂=CH⁻`. - For `(c) CH₃-CH₃` (ethane), the conjugate base formed is `CH₃-CH₂⁻`. ...
