Vedclass · Answer

(B) Metallic sodium reacts with compounds containing acidic hydrogen atoms. $tert-$butyl alcohol ($CH_3)_3COH$ has an acidic hydroxyl hydrogen. Ethyne $(HC \equiv CH)$ has acidic terminal hydrogen atoms. Gaseous ammonia $(NH_3)$ reacts with sodium to form sodamide $(NaNH_2)$. $But-2-yne$ $(CH_3-C \equiv C-CH_3)$ does not have any acidic hydrogen atoms attached to the triply bonded carbons,therefore it does not react with metallic sodium.
