Terminal ones have a pKA around 25, and this functional group is hydrogenated by sodium metal in liquid ammonia into trans-alkenes. This functional group has a bond angle of 180 degrees because the carbons involved in it are sp-hybridized. For 10 points, name this functional group which has a carbon-carbon triple bond.
