Their most notable feature allows them to produce nitriles when reacted with ammonia, and they undergo reactions with Lindlar's catalyst to produce the less saturated of their two sister groups. For 10 points, name these straight-chain hydrocarbons, of which acetylene is the smallest member, and which contain a carbon-carbon triple bond.
