"The characteristic hybridization scheme for the triple bond of an alkyne controls its physical and electronic features. It is responsible for strong bonds, the linear structure, and the relatively acidic alkynyl hydrogen. In addition, alkynes are highly energetic compounds. Internal isomers are more stable than terminal ones, as shown by the relative heats of hydrogenation."
