Question
Among the following compounds, the strongest acid is :
Options
A.CH ≡ CH
B.C6H6
C.C2H6
D.CH3OH
Solution
Order of acidic strength is:
CH3OH > HC ≡ CH > C6H6 > C2H6
H-atom is O - H bond acquires maximum positive charge due to high electronegativity of O-atom. Although all are neutrl towards the litmus paper.
