Consider the following reactions:

‘A’ is:

1. $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2=\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2$
2. $\mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}\equiv \mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}$
3. $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}\equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3$
4. $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}\equiv \mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}$

Solution

A reacts with $\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}}_2\mathrm{O}$ , so it should have acidic hydrogen. This implies that the compound will be terminal alkyne.
