Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is an aromatic alkyne?
  • Step 1: Understand what an alkyne is. An alkyne is a type of hydrocarbon that contains at least one triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Know what an aromatic compound is. An aromatic compound is a type of compound that contains a benzene ring, which is a ring of carbon atoms with alternating double bonds.
  • Step 3: Identify the compound in question. The compound we are looking at is phenylacetylene.
  • Step 4: Check if phenylacetylene has a triple bond. Yes, phenylacetylene has a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Step 5: Check if phenylacetylene has a phenyl group. Yes, phenylacetylene has a phenyl group (a benzene ring) attached to one end of the triple bond.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since phenylacetylene has both a triple bond and a phenyl group, it is classified as an aromatic alkyne.
