• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In common systems, the alkynes are named as derivatives of acetylene.
For example, $HC\equiv CH$ is acetylene, $C{H}_{3}C\equiv CH$ is methyl acetylene, $C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C\equiv CH$ is ethyl acetylene and $C{H}_3-C\equiv C-C{H}_3$ is dimethyl acetylene.
