Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The statement concerning alkyne properties is incorrect has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are represented shortly by the molecular formula and structural formula. Each and every compound has its own molecular formula. Compounds can have same molecular formula but not same structural formula.
Regarding density, alkynes have density lower than water. When alkynes are mixed with water, two layers are formed which is a result of insolubility. Alkynes are present on top of water layer which is due to lesser density.
Boiling point of alkynes increase with an increase in carbon‑chain length. The alkynes with lower molecular mass are gases at room temperature.
Alkynes undergo combustion reaction to give carbon dioxide and water as product.
