Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which reaction is characteristic of alkynes?
  • Step 1: Understand that alkynes are a type of hydrocarbon that contain at least one triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Learn that alkynes can react in different ways, which are called reactions.
  • Step 3: Identify the three main types of reactions that alkynes can undergo: hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydrohalogenation.
  • Step 4: Hydrogenation is when alkynes react with hydrogen gas to become alkenes or alkanes.
  • Step 5: Halogenation is when alkynes react with halogens (like chlorine or bromine) to form dihalides.
  • Step 6: Hydrohalogenation is when alkynes react with hydrogen halides (like HCl or HBr) to form haloalkenes.
