$R_{1} - C \equiv C - R_{2}$ $"R"_1-"C"-="C"-"R"_2$ , I suppose, since this is an alkyne, a hydrocarbon with a triple bond (and a pure alkyne has no double bond).

From the single $H$ $"H"$ on the far right, the far-right carbon must be $s p$ $sp$ -hybridized. It has two $σ$ $sigma$ bonds, one with that right-hand $H$ $"H"$ and one with the next to last carbon.

Structurally...

$H_{3} C - {CH}_{2} - C \equiv C - H$ $"H"_3"C"-"CH"_2-"C"-="C"-"H"$

Can you rationalize why this compound is called 1-butyne?

$HC \equiv {CCH}_{2} {CH}_{3}$ $"HC"-="CCH"_2"CH"_3$ is $1-butyne$ $"1-butyne"$ .

Explanation:

$Butyne$ $"Butyne"$ , $C_{4} H_{6}$ $C_4H_6$ has 2 degrees of unsaturation with respect to saturated $butane$ $"butane"$ , $C_{4} H_{10}$ $C_4H_10$ .
