How to find acidity (comparitive) for molecules such as these:
 
CH3CCH
CH3CH=CH2
CH3CH2CH3
 
like how to arrance them in ascending order of acidity?
plz help.....

the increasing acidity order is
CH3CH2CH
CH3CH=CH2
CH3CCH
this is due to increasing s character

as the s charecter of orbital increase electron are drown closer to nucleus so electrnegativity increase so sp>sp2>sp3 is E N order so alkyne is maximum acidic than alkene than alkane.

i think the correct order would be..
CH3CCH>CH3CH=CH2>CH3CH2CH3
bcos...s character of the orbital increases , electrons r attracted or drawn nearer to the nucleus due to which the electronegativeity is more in alkyne thn in alkene and alkane...
hence the acidity is more in alkynes rather thn in alkenes and alkanes..
