Which of the following compounds having the molecular formula C2H is derived from the hydride of acetylene?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Ethynyl.

  • The compound with the molecular formula C₂H, which is derived from the hydride of acetylene, is Ethynyl.
  • The ethynyl group is formed when acetylene (C₂H₂) loses a hydrogen atom.
  • This results in the ethynyl radical, a highly reactive group, often involved in chemical reactions.
  • The ethynyl group is a key component in various organic synthesis reactions, and it plays a crucial role in the formation of complex molecules.
  • The presence of the triple bond in acetylene is essential for the creation of this radical.
