Which of the following is the most stable alkene?

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

The stability of an alkene is directly proportional to the number of -hydrogens due to hyperconjugation. More -hydrogens result in more hyperconjugative structures, increasing the stability of the molecule. For the alkene in option (A), the double-bonded carbon atoms are attached to two isopropyl groups. The -carbons are the CH carbons, giving 1 + 1 = 2 -hydrogens. For the alkene in option (B), the double-bonded carbon atoms are attached to four isopropyl groups. The -carbons are the CH carbons, giving 1 + 1 + 1 +
