Page "Alkyne" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
Alkynes are characteristically more unsaturated than alkenes.
Thus they add two equivalents of bromine whereas an alkene adds only one equivalent.
Other reactions are listed below.
Alkynes are usually more reactive than alkenes.
They show greater tendency to polymerize or oligomerize than alkenes do.
The resulting polymers, called polyacetylenes ( which do not contain alkyne units ) are conjugated and can exhibit semiconducting properties.
