AI overview
An alkyne is a type of hydrocarbon molecule that contains a triple bond between two carbon atoms, as shown in examples like acetylene, propyne, and 1-butyne. Alkynes are important because their triple bonds make them chemically reactive and useful as building blocks in organic chemistry and industrial applications.
