AI Generated Solution

To determine which compound is more acidic between acetylene (C2H2) and benzene (C6H6), we can analyze the stability of the resulting anions formed after deprotonation (removal of H⁺ ions) from each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - Acetylene (C2H2) has the structure H-C≡C-H, which features a triple bond between the two carbon atoms. - Benzene (C6H6) has a cyclic structure with alternating double bonds, represented as a hexagon with a hydrogen atom attached to each carbon. ...
