The bond dissociation energies of C-H bonds in alkanes, alkenes and aromatic compounds decrease in the following order: primary > secondary > tertiary > allylic > benzylic. The weaker the bond, the lower the bond dissociation energies. Does the acidity of primary, secondary, tertiary, allylic and benzylic hydrogens follow the same order?

No, it correlates rather with how well carboanion is stabilised. – Mithoron Dec 21 '19 at 18:18
