Alkynes with the general formula C n H 2 n - 2 is an unsaturated homologous series in which the compounds have a triple bond between two carbons. The first member of the alkyne series is ethyne with the molecular formula C 2 H 2 . Alkanes with the general formula C n H 2 n + 2 is a saturated homologous series in which the compounds have single bonds only. The first member of the alkane series is methane with the molecular formula CH 4 . General formula IUPAC name of the homologous series Characteristics of bond type IUPAC name of the first member of the series C n H 2 n - 2 (A) Alkyne (B) Unsaturated (triple bond) (C) Ethyne C n H 2 n + 2 (D) Alkane (E) Saturated (Single bond) (F) Methane

What is the special feature of the structure of ethyne?

Ethyne with the chemical formula C 2 H 2 is the first member of the alkyne series. Ethyne with a triple bond is an unsaturated simple alkyne with a linear structure, where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to each carbon atoms and the carbon atoms are bonded to each other with the triple bond. The structural formula of ethyne is given below.
