But-1-yne is terminal alkyne and but-2-yne is nonterminal alkyne.So but-1-yne reacts with Na to form H2 but but-2-yne does not react with Na.Not only that but-1-yne reacts with ammonical silver nitrate and cuprous chloride solution to form white and red colour precipitate respectively. But but-2-yne being a nonterminal alkyne does not involve in these reaction.
