Which one of the following statements best explains the greater acidity of terminal alkynes (RC≡CH) compared with monosubstituted alkenes (RCH=CH2)?
A) The sp -hybridized carbons of the alkyne are less electronegative than the sp2 carbons of the alkene.
B) The two π bonds of the alkyne are better able to stabilize the negative charge of the anion by resonance.
C) The sp -hybridized carbons of the alkyne are more electronegative than the sp2 carbons of the alkene.
D) The question is incorrect - alkenes are more acidic than alkynes.
