Answer:
Acetylene shows acidic character because carbon is sp hybridized containing 50% s-character which makes –C-H bond highly acidic in nature. The acidic character of –C-H can be easily justified when heated with sodium metal which displaces hydrogen from acetylene forming sodium acetylide.

Answer:
In ethyne,the Carbon atoms are in sp hybridization state with 50% s- character. ... In this way Carbon atom i strongly attracts bond pair electrons of C-----H bond towards itself and ultimately H+ ions can be easily donated. Hence,ethyne acts as acid
