Combustion -

Alkane on heating in presence of air or O2 are completely oxidised to CO2 and water with evolution of large amount of heat.

- wherein

 

 \underset{Ethyne}{C_{2}H_{2}}\;+\; \frac{5}{2}O_{2}\; \longrightarrow\;2CO_{2}\;+\;H_{2}O

Hybridisation of C in H-C\equiv C-H     is sp

Hybridisation of C in O \equiv C=O     is sp

Hybridisation of C in H-\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}=\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}-H\;(Ethene)     is sp^{2} 

Hybridisation of C in H-\underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}}=\underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}}-H\;(Ethane)     is sp^{3}
