why the first member of alkyne series is ethyne not methyne?

Sorry I was not able to answer this question because there are already two answers. Post this question again and message the link. I will give you the answer! L)
Answer her/him in inbox..if u r unable to...answer it...or an it in cmmnt
Oh fine.. I will answer it here then
The formula of Methyne is CH
Such an element cannot exist because in such a case, Carbon and hydrogen has to share four electrons whereas the maximum limit possible is sharing three electrons (triple bond)
The formula of Ethyne is C2H2
Such an element can exist because they can easily share two electrons (i.e form a double bond). Hence, the first member of alkyne series is ethyne not methyne.
Hope this answer helps!

Nice.....keep it up...
Ty :3
Btw sorry it's triple bond* in ethyne's case, not double bond* :/
Thanks a lot

this is because we have to show a double bond between two carbon atoms, so we require two carbon atoms that's why the first member of alkyne and alkene are not methyne and methene respectively.
plz elaborate

because alkyne posess triple bond ...
which is impossible in methyne .. as you know that valency of carbon is 4 and in methyne there is only one carbon hence it is not possible
