===Alkynes===
Alkynes are unsaturated organic compounds with at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. In nature, alkynes are found in numerous plants and fruits, and most compounds can be readily synthesized industrially or in a laboratory.
====Physical Properties====
Overall the physical properties of alkynes are somewhat similar to those of alkenes.
Alkynes have higher boiling points than the corresponding alkanes and alkenes:
:Compound: Butane < Butene < Butyne
:Boiling point: Low → High
Most alkynes have low density and low solubility in water; conversely, alkynes are nonpolar and are readily dissolved in organic colvents.
At room temperature, compounds with lower molecular weights are gases.
