Answer:
But-1-yne \[(C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C\equiv
C-H)\] is a terminal alkyne and the triple bonded carbon has a hydrogen atom
attached to it which can be removed as a \[{{H}^{+}}\] by suitable reaction. On
the other hand, but-2-yne \[(C{{H}_{3}}-C\equiv C-C{{H}_{3}})\] is a
non-terminal alkyne and the triple bonded carbon has no hydrogen atom attached
to it. Therefore, it cannot behave as an acid.
