Which of the following reactions is/are shown by alkynes?

Correct answer: D. All of these

  • A. Hydrogenation
  • B. Hydrohalogenation
  • C. Hydration
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Alkynes are capable of undergoing addition reactions due to the presence of a triple bond with loosely held pi-electrons. This allows for the addition of various molecules such as halogens, hydrogen, and water. Option D is correct because alkynes can indeed undergo all of these addition reactions. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because while alkynes can undergo these reactions to some extent, they are not specific to alkynes and are also observed in other types of compounds.
