    Which is most acidic of the following?

    A)  Methane                           

    B)  Acetylene

    C)  1-butene                           

    D)  Neo-pentane

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    In\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]each C-atom is sp-hybridised which contains 50% 5-character. The greater the \[s-\]character of an orbital the bonding electron pair will be more inclined towards the nucleus as a result carbon would acquire a negative charge and hydrogen is a positive charge. Hence, it is acidic in nature. \[H-\underset{sp}{\mathop{C}}\,\equiv \underset{sp}{\mathop{C_{\bullet }^{\bullet }}}\,H\]and removal of hydrogen as proton takes place.
