why is propyne polar?

[Menthol]

I know it has to do with the presence of a triple bond but dont know why exactly
is it because the triple bond pulls electron density closer to itself?

Triple bond carbon-carbon created the linear shape.

Triple bond carbon-carbon created the linear shape.

linear shape would make it nonpolar isnt it????

No, the triple bond is much shorter is length than the single bond between the next carbon so there wouldn't be equal dipole moments
