Explanation:
Again, the acidity relates nicely to the stability of the conjugate base. ... In an effect akin to electronegativity, the more s character in the orbital, the closer the electrons will be to the nucleus, and the lower in energy (= stable! ) they will be. Look at the difference between the pKa of acetylene and alkanes – 25!
