Terminal alkynes and Non Terminal Alkynes are both variants of alkynes, but the difference lies in the position of the triple carbon bond. Terminal Alkynes have the triple carbon bond at the end of the chain, such as ethyne and propyne. On the other hand, Non Terminal Alkynes have their triple carbon bond in the middle of the chain. Example: 2-Butyene.
