The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, let's break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that the hydrogen atoms in ethyne (C₂H₂) are acidic in nature. - Ethyne has the structure H-C≡C-H, where the carbon atoms are sp-hybridized. - Acidity refers to the ability of a substance to donate a proton (H⁺). In this case, the hydrogen atoms can be released as protons. 2. **Analyzing Acidity**: - When a hydrogen atom is removed from ethyne, it forms a negative ion (C≡C⁻). - The stability of this negative ion is crucial. The more stable the negative charge, the stronger the acid. - The sp-hybridization of carbon leads to a higher electronegativity of the carbon atoms compared to sp² or sp³ hybridized carbons. 3. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement asserts that the sp-hybridization of carbon atoms makes them more electronegative. - In sp-hybridization, the s character is 50% (as opposed to 33% in sp² and 25% in sp³), which increases the electronegativity of the carbon atoms. - This higher electronegativity contributes to the stability of the negative charge when hydrogen is removed, confirming the acidic nature of the hydrogen atoms in ethyne. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true because the hydrogen atoms in ethyne are indeed acidic. - Statement 2 is true because sp-hybridization increases the electronegativity of carbon, which stabilizes the negative charge. - Therefore, the correct conclusion is that both statements are true, and the relationship between them is that the sp-hybridization contributes to the acidity of the hydrogen atoms. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 explains Statement 1.
