Alkynes are a type of hydrocarbon that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. This unique bond gives alkynes distinct properties, making them more reactive than alkenes and alkanes. The simplest alkyne is ethyne, commonly known as acetylene, which is used in welding and as a fuel. Alkynes can be found in various natural and synthetic compounds, playing important roles in organic chemistry. These compounds are typically represented by the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₋₂, where "n" is the number of carbon atoms. Alkynes can be linear or branched, and their reactivity allows them to participate in various chemical reactions, such as addition reactions. Understanding alkynes is essential for studying more complex organic molecules and
