Acidic hysrocarbon means the hydrocarbon that has tendency to give H+ ions. Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen. So all hydrocarbons have some acidic strength (howsoever small it may be). More the % s character in hybrid orbital, more is electronegativity of carbon and hence, more will be acidic strength.
